“AlfabetoVirtual” charged for hacks, defacements

Posted on May 10, 2018 by Dissent

AP reports:

A California man has been charged with hacking and defacing websites for a West Point counterterrorism research center and a New York City government finance agency.

A criminal complaint accuses Billy Ribeiro Anderson with hacking the two sites in 2015 and 2016 using the online pseudonym “Alfabeto Virtual.” It says he modified them to display “Hacked by Alfabeto Virtual.”

Of course, those are not his only alleged hacks.  When I went to research him, Google’s search results show the remnants of some of his activities:

Hacked by AlfabetoVirtual

And those are just a few of such results. Zone-H records show that he was still claiming defacements as recently as March of this year, and that he had recorded 11,233 notifications, of which 7,286 were single ip defacements and 3,947 were mass defacements:
