Hi this author is unexposed and not entirely accurate in his reporting. We (dfntsc) hacked Cris,Merlin, Gandalf, and whaops.
I even stole juberti's name and took "Justin" (aim only account) until it was frauded by opsec44 at the behest of a snitch very late to the game calling himself "defiant"
Kim zetter wrote about our antics 20 years ago I am just posting this here because the title is misleading and is demonstrative of the author's ignorance and absence from the scene given we dont know each other and I consider myself aoleet in a very very small circle. I know dime (Dave) and his brother that's mentioned in the article. My boy helped him write his fdo token scanner in addition to making his own *toolZ. I do not know this author.
Nice pictures but they are not even his. Clout chaser.
E: The author is kevin/pad. A groupie from conferences with no technical apitutde. U may know him as the founder of the Minerva token which got owned (since technically inept)
Anyway, read this article like it was written by a groupie and not an authority on the subject /active participant.
When cryptome.org got defaced and hacked we were monitoring pad snitching in jya@earthlink.net emails from pad@yayo.org.
Clout chaser and groupie for sure
