TechCrunch Hacker Identified: Asks Readers to Decide If They Press Charges
Remember that hacking incident we had back in January? TechCrunch.com was defaced twice over a two day period and was redirecting for part of that time to a third party site.
We got through the event and mostly put it behind us. But recently Garda (Ireland’s national police force) and the U.S. Secret Service have been in touch with us because they think they found our man. He’s a suspect in another case and evidence strongly suggesting he was the TechCrunch hacker as well came to their attention. He redirects hacked sites to a website he owns and generates affiliate revenue.
These law enforcement agencies now want to know if we want to press charges so that they can bring a criminal action against the suspect in the United States.
