Hacker Admits to Selling Access to US Energy Department Computers
Andrew James Miller, 24, of Pennsylvania, US, has admitted to selling access to the computer systems of various high-profile organizations. Under the plea agreement he has made with authorities, he faces up to 18 months in prison.
According to court documents obtained by Wired, Miller, who used the online moniker “Green,” was part of a hacking group known as the Underground Intelligence Agency.
He was arrested in June. However, he has been released until he is sentenced in November. It turns out that Miller offered undercover FBI agents root access to the supercomputers housed by the National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center at the Lawrence Berkeley National Lab California.
