A hacker posted the personal data of several of his hacking victims on his Instagram account, @ihackthegovernment, according to a court document.<\/p>\n
Last week, Nicholas Moore, 24, a resident of Springfield, Tennessee, pleaded guilty to repeatedly hacking into the U.S. Supreme Court\u2019s electronic document filing system. At the time, there were no details about the specifics of the hacking crimes Moore was admitting to.\u00a0<\/p>\n
On Friday, a newly filled document \u2014 first spotted by Court Watch\u2019s Seamus Hughes \u2014 revealed more details about Moore\u2019s hacks. Per the filing, Moore hacked not only into the Supreme Court systems, but also the network of AmeriCorps, a government agency that runs stipend volunteer programs, and the systems of the Department of Veterans Affairs, which provides healthcare and welfare to military veterans.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Moore accessed those systems using stolen credentials of users who were authorized to access them. Once he gained access to those victims\u2019 accounts, Moore accessed and stole their personal data and posted some online to his Instagram account: @ihackthegovernment.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In the case of the Supreme Court victim, identified as GS, Moore posted their name and \u201ccurrent and past electronic filing records.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
In the case of the AmeriCorps victim, identified as SM, Moore boasted that he had access to the organization\u2019s servers and published the victim\u2019s \u201cname, date of birth, email address, home address, phone number, citizenship status, veteran status, service history, and the last four digits of his social security number.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
And, in the case of the victim at the Department of Veterans Affairs, identified as HW, Moore posted the victim\u2019s identifiable health information \u201cwhen he sent an associate a screenshot from HW\u2019s MyHealtheVet account that identified HW and showed the medications he had been prescribed.\u201d<\/p>\n
According to the court document, Moore faces a maximum sentence of one year in prison and a maximum fine of $100,000.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
