This story actually gave me a lot of LULZ, how stupid can you be seriously? Man this guy made so many mistakes for someone so paranoid (he had a web cam setup outside his appartment door so he could see who was coming)..<\/p>\n
But then he exposed his IP address on IRC, posted his face on some freaky vampire site<\/a> and posted up screenshots<\/a> of the HVAC system he ‘owned’ on a forum.<\/p>\n He wasn’t exactly making it hard for someone to find him..especially seen as though he actually WORKED IN THE HOSPITAL.<\/p>\n The leader of a malicious hacker collective who used his job as a security guard to breach sensitive Texas hospital computers has been arrested just days before his group planned a “massive DDoS” attack for the July 4 Independence Day holiday.<\/p>\n Jesse William McGraw, 25, of Arlington, Texas, was taken into custody late Friday evening after posting screenshots showing he had complete control of computers that administered air-conditioning systems at The Carrell Clinic in Dallas, federal prosecutors said. McGraw also brazenly posted videos showing him installing malware on hospital computers that made them part of a botnet he operated, said a network security expert, whose sleuthing uncovered the breach.<\/p>\n As a contract security guard at the hospital, McGraw had no authorized access to any of its computers. But that didn’t stop the miscreant, who went by the handle GhostExodus, from taping himself as he walked down the halls of the hospital with a blue security guard uniform poking out through a gray hoody, as he bragged about gaining control over sensitive computers.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n If there was ever an original script kiddy, I think this guy fits the bill perfectly.<\/p>\n Seems like his l33t hacking skills extend to walking into rooms he has access too (with a security card), and taking some screenshots!<\/p>\n Or perhaps even sometimes he booted in with BackTrack<\/a> and reset the passwords.<\/p>\n
