A Tennessee resident, Nicholas Moore, has entered a guilty plea for engaging in unauthorized access of the U.S. Supreme Court's filing system over a span of 25 occasions. The 24-year-old from Springfield admitted to hacking activities that included breaching AmeriCorps' records and a Department of Veterans Affairs platform.
On January 16, 2026, Moore faced charges that were brought forth by U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro, culminating in a misdemeanor count of computer fraud. This charge can result in a maximum penalty of one year in prison. His sentencing is set for April 17, with U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell presiding over the case.
The court documents reveal that Moore utilized stolen credentials to gain access to personal information, which he subsequently shared on an Instagram account named @ihackedthegovernment. His actions included posting details about the individual whose credentials were compromised, as well as screenshots from AmeriCorps and the Department of Veterans Affairs' “MyHealtheVet” platform.
