A teenage boy suspected of involvement in the Scattered Spider cyber attacks on two major Las Vegas casino operators, Caesars Entertainment and MGM Resorts, has been charged with multiple offences by the US authorities.
The individual, who cannot be named due to his age, surrendered himself to the Clark County Juvenile Detention Centre in Las Vegas on Wednesday 17 September, according to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department.
He has been charged with three counts of obtaining and using personally identifying information (PII) to harm or impersonate, one count of extortion, one count of conspiracy to commit extortion, and one count of unlawful acts regarding computers.
It is understood the county District Attorney is seeking to transfer him to the criminal division which would result in him being tried as an adult.
