I don't know how to prove it, because I don't want to post screenshots or other identifying info, but I've been in communication with a couple members of the sh1mmer crew. After posting some technical info about it on Reddit, they reached out.

They claim to be in high school, and the way they converse seems to match.

They're good kids. Good hackers.
