Perhaps there is no country where hacking issues did not exist. Hacking problem is everywhere. Now, it is found that US Spy Chief accounts were hacked and fortunately, the two hackers were arrested.
Both of them are from North Carolina and found that they were involved in the part of the notorious hacking group called “Crackas With Attitude.” One is of age 22, Andrew Otto Boggs from North Wilkesboro, N.C who allegedly used to handle “INCURSION” and other is of age 24, Justin Gray Liverman from Morehead City who was also known as “D3F4ULT”.
Crackas with Attitude is the group of hackers who allegedly was behind a series of audacious and embarrassing hacks that targeted personal email accounts of senior officials at the CIA, FBI, The White House, Homeland Security Department, and other US Federal Agencies.
It also came to hear that a British teenager of age 16, was arrested by the FBI and British Police. However, the court did not name the victims, but the hacking group had allegedly:
- Hacked the personal emails and phone accounts of the US Spy Chief James Clapper
- Hacked the AQL email of the CIA director John Brennan and released Personal details.
- Broke the AQL email of the FBI Deputy Director Mark Giuliano.
In a press conference, FBI officials had announced that between October 2015 to February 2016, the hacking group had used social engineering to trick the victims for their account number, password, and other details. Furthermore, it was also found that the crack had leaked the many personal details of the 31,000 government agents related to 20,000 FBI agents, 9,000 Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officers and some number of Doj staffers.
