Anyone seen this ?

I find it quite funny as I actually know the person, it's one of my dad's ex mates son.

Just thought I'd share the latest

Computer misuse act is quite a difficult one to get people on, he must have left a lot of bread crumbs.

Lauri Love ? Is that a joke name or did his parents hate him from the get go ?

As for getting caught, Noob.

Classic case of "noobs loose"

He'll be getting plenty of love when he gets to the US.

Seems legit.

I see he's wearing a Fedora in that picture.

All that needs to be said.

I bet he's not feeling so euphoric now.

Although I'm wondering just how long it'll be until the Ass Burgers defence is called.

Pity we can't charge the yanks with doing the same thing to people in Europe.

mrk · 29 Oct 2013 at 15:42

He's already said he's not well himself in that article so pretty soon I'd imagine. Some of those extracts from chatlogs they quoted just show he's a massive fool on a "omg I can hack stuff" trip.

Need to catch them doing it.

It is alleged that they mounted so-called “injection attacks” on supposedly secure government databases, creating “back door” routes

Doesn't ring true with the accusations of sophistication.

What I don't get is what these guys want to do with the information they've found. They haven't released it, they look too amateur to find buyers, and it doesn't look like he could use it himself...

All he has to say is: 'Was looking for Angela Merkel nekkid pics your honour'.

winner

also I'd like to know how copying work resulted in "millions of dollars in losses"

I'd also like to know how they got those chat logs if they had only just arrested him, they'd need to search his computer first.

^^

Every time security precautions fail, all those responsible for maintaining it are executed. All equipment if has flaws is destroyed, and those who supplied said equipment are also killed.

Or at least this is what i would do.

Noob should have rigged a fake hdd that when accessed released thermite.

arknor · 29 Oct 2013 at 17:44

guess hes a script kiddy then if it was injection code

maybe our new cyber crime unit will recruit him anyway, they said they would not rule out recruiting uk hackers

Frenzy · 29 Oct 2013 at 17:46

I think they leave these vulnerabilities on purpose (honeypot) to catch script kiddies, they then publicise it to put off other people. I bet they are hacked far more often by real hackers but either don't know about it or don't advertise it.
