Globant itself posted an official warning with the US Securities and Exchange Commission stating that "We have recently detected that a limited section of our company's code repository has been subject to unauthorized access."
The mystery of who, what and where the LAPSUS$ kingpins are located deepened yet further last Friday, when City of London Police noted that two suspects, aged 16 and 17 - presumably two of the seven whose arrest-and-release had been reported earlier - were due in court that morning [2022-04-01]:. Two teenagers have been charged in connection with an investigation into members of a hacking group.
Because of the young age of the suspects, neither the public court lists nor the court hearings themselves ought to give any clues to who they are.

In a follow-up report, the BBC insists that the suspects were "Charged with hacking for a major cyber-crime gang", explicitly stating in its headline that this gang was LAPSUS$.
