HACKER WHO BREACHED SUPREME COURT GETS PROBATION

Moore accessed the U.S. Supreme Court filing system along with two other federal networks by exploiting stolen login credentials. After gaining access, he posted evidence of the breach on Instagram under the handle @ihackedthegovernment, including victims' personal information. The hacker's public boasting led to his identification and arrest. Federal prosecutors argued the breaches posed significant risks to national security and violated the privacy of government employees and court users. Moore pleaded guilty to unauthorized computer access charges. The probation sentence reflects plea negotiations and his cooperation with authorities during the investigation. The case highlights vulnerabilities in federal cybersecurity practices and the dangers of credential-based attacks. The Supreme Court's systems were not permanently compromised, though the breach raised questions about how attackers obtained valid login credentials for multiple government agencies.
