so, the company was Vastaamo. was because it got bankrupt after the breach, and GDPR violations.
the "hacker"(or rather cracker) was extradited from France to Finland.
you can read about how terrible the company's security was here: https://tietosuoja.fi/en/-/administrative-fine-imposed-on-psychotherapy-centre-vastaamo-for-data-protection-violationsor watch mental outlaw's video on the matter, or the Wikipedia article on the breach.
now there are several things that shouldn't have happened (e.g.: don't do these things on your main OS, have root access disabled, etc.), but I'll leave that to you experts.
No. This is fake, it's gotta be. Not even the "I use Kali by the way" script kiddies are that stupid.
you're underestimating people's capability to make such mistakes. remember silk road? the guy used the same username in two places, and gave his email id(which had his full name) in one of them.
Really who the fuck creates an email for that kinda thing with full names !
it was late 2000s(he was arrested in 2013, before snowden leaks). and the guy wasn't a "hacker". he created the website where stuff(both legal and illegal) was sold. so, you have to keep that perspective in mind.
Oh yeah i remember that guy i i thought you were talking about someone else. And in my opinion they should just free him he has done more time that he should have to whie other bigger criminals than him with money are running around free . But still it was a very noob mistake of course unless he did it delibretly because he didn't care about anonymity.
it's USA. don't expect much.
If you're facilitating drung sales in tor anonymity should be your main priority.
