Cybercrime Chronicles 2023: From Twitter Takedowns to Passport Pyrotechnics
“High-Profile Cybercrime Arrests” of 2023 read like a Hollywood script! From Twitter hacks to Amazon employees gone rogue, to the fiery passport protest of a Russian hacker, and finally to the decade-long cat-and-mouse chase ending in Checkmate. Here’s hoping the sequel, 2024, has fewer cyber villains.
Hot Take:
Well, well, well, another year, another list of cyber baddies sent to the naughty corner. From Twitter's high-profile hijack to the ex-Amazon employee who Googled his way into a prison cell, 2023 was quite the year for cybercrime. And let's not forget the cheeky Russian hacker who set his passport ablaze, making a flaming statement about extradition. Oh, and let's raise a glass to the persistent feds who finally unmasked the mastermind behind the credit card checking operation, Try2Check. It's been a whirlwind of a year, and while it's always fun to reminisce, let's hope 2024 brings fewer cyber shenanigans.Already a member? Log in here
