Some hackers seem to like the power that they can feel when they hack. These situations can get personal as Brian Krebs learned. He tracked and tried to frame a hacker named Sergey Vovnenko. In the end Krebs ended up conversing several times with Vovnenko, finding out that Vovnenko had a huge ego, and hardly believed he could be caught.
Key Takeaways:
- Krebs thinks some hackers just really enjoy messing things up and attacking people or doing it as a power trip.
- He had earned the unwanted attention of a man calling himself The Fly, or Flycracker
- all it takes is for people like Brian Krebs and Trust Guard to help take down these criminals – even if it is one at a time.
“Investigators are prone to boil down credit card stealing operations and mass identity thefts to simple greed.”
