A Tennessee man has been found guilty of multiple instances of computer fraud involving the U.S. Supreme Court’s filing system. Nicholas Moore, 24, from Springfield, admitted to accessing the court's system illegally over 25 days in 2023 using stolen credentials.
Moore's actions included retrieving personal records of the credential holder and sharing them on Instagram under the handle @ihackedthegovernment. He also accessed sensitive data from AmeriCorps and a veteran's account on the Department of Veterans Affairs’ "MyHealtheVet" platform, posting screenshots of this information on the same account.
U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell is set to impose a sentence on Moore on April 17. He faces a maximum penalty of one year in prison for his misdemeanor charge, following a recent indictment by U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro's office.
