The child who swatted me hundreds of times, issued bomb threats to commercial airlines, and DDoS'd PSN and XBL during Christmas of 2014 now has an international warrant out for his arrest.
This time, he extorted tens of thousands of psychotherapy patients, threatening to release their private therapy notes if they did not pay a ransom.
But check out how he got caught... He accidentally uploaded his entire home folder to the darknet forum he was using. Whoopsie!

1) I believe it was a private firm, like Talkspace or BetterHelp.
2) The firm was breached in 2018 and kept it under wraps for over a year and a half. This would be a fucking crime in America, under HIPAA.
@bonifartius @r000t The former CEO of the company has been charged with data protection offences.

@r000t i mean.. it really sucks for the people whose stuff is now online, but it shouldn't have been in a central system in the first place. the people who design those things are as guilty as the one who hacked it and leaked it imho. it's text book negligence..
