https://bit.ly/48eRweW - 🏛️ Miklos Daniel Brody, a former cloud engineer at a San Francisco-based bank, has been sentenced to two years in prison for damaging the bank's computer network and making false statements to a government agency. This sentencing by Senior U.S. District Judge William H. Orrick follows Brody's guilty plea to charges under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act and for lying to a government agency. #CyberCrime #LegalSentencing #ComputerFraud 💻 After being fired from the bank on March 11, 2020, for violating company policy, Brody used his company-issued laptop, which he failed to return, to access the bank’s computer network without authorization. His activities caused substantial damage, including deleting code repositories, running malicious scripts, and emailing himself proprietary bank code valued at over $5,000. The total cost of the damage to the bank’s systems was determined to be at least $220,621.22. #NetworkIntrusion #CyberSecurityBreach #FinancialInstitutions 🚔 Following his termination, Brody engaged in deceptive actions. He falsely reported to the San Francisco Police Department that his company-issued laptop was stolen and repeated these false statements to U.S. Secret Service agents after his arrest in March 2021. He later admitted in his guilty plea that he knew his statement about the laptop being stolen was false. #Deception #LegalCase #CyberEthics 💸 In addition to his prison sentence, Judge Orrick ordered Brody to pay restitution totaling $529,266.37 and to serve three years of supervised release after his prison term. This case, prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Lauren M. Harding and George O. Hageman, with assistance from Paralegal Specialist Mark DiCenzo, is the result of an investigation by the U.S. Secret Service.

https://nyti.ms/3QnlhVp - 🔒 Kevin Mitnick, a once notorious hacker turned security consultant, passed away on Sunday at the age of 59 due to complications from pancreatic cancer. Mitnick, co-founder of the cybersecurity training company KnowBe4, was confirmed dead by spokeswoman Kathy Wattman. #KevinMitnick #Cybersecurity #KnowBe4 🌐 Known in the '90s for his theft of data files and credit card numbers from computers nationwide, Mitnick became a significant figure in the cybersecurity world. Tagged as the world’s “most wanted” hacker, he infiltrated phone and cell networks and disrupted various systems, including those of the government, corporations, and universities. #DataTheft #Cybercrime 🚓 Mitnick’s hacking spree ended in 1995 when the FBI apprehended him after a more than two-year manhunt. Charged with illegal use of a telephone access device and computer fraud, he was said to have accessed corporate trade secrets worth millions of dollars, posing a significant threat. #FBI #ComputerFraud ⚖️ Mitnick was released in 2000, following his guilty plea to computer and wire fraud in 1999 as part of an agreement with prosecutors. The court sentenced him to 46 months in prison and imposed restrictions on his computer and cell phone use for three years post-release. #LegalSystem #Sentencing 🎤 Post-prison, Mitnick transformed his reputation and built a new career as a security consultant, writer, and public speaker, actively contributing to cybersecurity awareness. His memoir, “Ghost in the Wires”, published in 2011, disputes several accusations against him, including hacking into government systems. #PublicSpeaking #Memoir 🎭 From a loner childhood in LA to his fixation on the intricacies of phone company switches and circuits, Mitnick’s early life was marked by curiosity and an inclination towards exploration. His first encounter with authorities for burrowing into corporate computer systems at 17 marked the beginning of his tumultuous relationship with law enforcement. #EarlyLife #Exploration 👨‍👩‍👧 Mitnick is survived by his wife, Kimberley Mitnick, who is expecting their first child. His legacy as a hacker-turned-security-consultant will remain influential in the cybersecurity landscape.
