Hacker Charged With Extorting Online Psychotherapy Service

This guy is brazen, son of an extremely well off founder of an international construction company.

Committed more than 50,000 frauds by the age of 17!
He calls himself an investor and posted on twitter recently and has openly talked about his crimes.

The way he got caught is apparently poor opsec, when his data breached upload included his home folder.

Can it really be the case that silk road, penis (refunder), this guy, the guy who developed raccoon malware all were caught for seemingly basic common sense opsec mistakes? I mean yes it is possible but such seemingly intelligent people were really caught for such fundamental lazy mistakes?

This is the article about the raccoon malware guy.

His selfie was subpoened to icloud...

For all of these guys that were caught, how many smart and secure cyber criminals are out there not making mistakes?
Or is it the case that the security tools of the letter agencies are powerful enough that they will find you if there is enough heat?

Interesting that they only caught him once he went to NATO territories. The same happened for owner of RF as well. You would expect the more illicit the operation, the better the opsec. Reality is all of them are human and life tends to blend into their operations.

Indeed. Curious how they seem to have so many supects of the largest botnet creators.
You would think they would be have the best anonymity protection that technology can afford.

Regarding the showing off, I understand that when you are as young as some of these kids who make hundreds of thousands or millions it goes their heads. The first rule is not to show off but I suppose it is harder in this day and age with the pressure of social media.

The psychotherapy hacker, has no limits. Dumping and selling sensitive details from a corporation is one thing but blackmailing people with mental issues/challenges and then releasing the data is cold. Also reading into more, he isn't the son of the founder of YIT as the company is 140 years old.
So perhaps a compulsive liar on top of it all. It does look like he comes from priviledge and regardless loves to commit crime.

Nice to that pro we're appreciating for you good job
