Teen allegedly led KillSec ransomware gang; infrastructure dismantled

Operation KillSwitch dismantled KillSec's ransomware infrastructure, with investigators alleging a 16-year-old masterminded the operation behind hundreds of attacks. The claim is based on law enforcement statements; the extent of the teen's role and the gang's full impact remain unverified. This highlights the low barrier to entry in cybercrime and the challenge of attributing attacks to minors.
