Soldier by Day, Hacker by Night: The Wild Tale of Kiberphant0m’s Arrest
A US Army soldier, Cameron John Wagenius, suspected as cybercriminal Kiberphant0m, was arrested in Texas for the unlawful transfer of confidential phone records information. Allegedly involved in breaching telecom firms like AT&T, Wagenius is also linked to Snowflake data hacks. His mother was shocked, saying, “I never knew he was into hacking.”
Hot Take:
This is one way to go AWOL from the Army—allegedly moonlighting as a cybercriminal named after a ghost with a penchant for hacking phone lines. I guess those army radio signals just weren’t thrilling enough for Mr. Kiberphant0m, who apparently decided to play a game of “Can You Hear Me Now?” with AT&T and Verizon. Talk about a major call-drop!
