UG Nazi member “JoshTheGod” sentenced for serial 911 SWAT calls to celebrities’ homes, ID theft

Posted on July 12, 2016 by Dissent

AP reports:

Federal authorities on Monday identified a New York man as part of a computer hacking group that called armed police to the homes of 20 U.S. celebrities and other prominent people in 2013 – including CNN television host Wolf Blitzer, National Rifle Association leader Wayne LaPierre, a federal cybercrime prosecutor in Massachusetts and members of Congress

In a case unsealed in Washington, Mir Islam, 22, was sentenced to 24 months in prison for his role in a conspiracy that posted stolen personal financial information about at least 50 people online and also placed false 911 calls about armed shooters at individuals’ homes to draw police SWAT teams to their doors,according to court records, statements and media reports.

Separate from those offenses, Islam committed crimes to which he pleaded guilty last July in Washington in the case that was unsealed Monday. Other conspirators include four younger individuals in Southern California, Fredericksburg, Virginia, and Finland linked to websites named exposed.su, exposed.re and exposed.ws, prosecutors said.
