A hacker has disclosed personal information of multiple victims via his Instagram account, @ihackthegovernment, as detailed in court filings. Nicholas Moore, 24, from Springfield, Tennessee, recently admitted guilt to hacking the electronic document system of the U.S. Supreme Court.
The court documents, highlighted by Court Watch’s Seamus Hughes, reveal that Moore infiltrated not only the Supreme Court but also the networks of AmeriCorps and the Department of Veterans Affairs. Using stolen credentials from authorized users, he accessed sensitive accounts, stealing personal data.
Victims included individuals from various sectors. One victim from the Supreme Court, referred to as GS, had their name and electronic filing records posted online. Another victim from AmeriCorps, SM, had extensive personal details published, including their date of birth and Social Security number's last four digits. Additionally, information from HW, a Department of Veterans Affairs victim, included health data shared with an associate.
Moore could face a penalty of up to one year in prison along with a fine of as much as $100,000.
