S01E02 - My September 11 - That was the end of the world for me. A hacker in prison.
Episode description
S01E02 - My lawyer told me I was going to prison. Then my mind was blocked, what I felt it was something there are no words to describe. I was the first hacker in Uruguay that was sent to prison for a computer-related crime.
I want you to enter into this story, and be part of it, don't be afraid, don't be shy, and give me your feedback, your point of view on anything that happened, your reading of the case, tell me what things you believe I did wrong, or I could have done in a different way. Tell me my mistakes, tell me the story from your shoes, I am willing to listen to you.
In Feb 2017, a medical provider in Uruguay got hacked. The attacker stole a bunch of patient records and then used that to conduct extortion on the provider. They said they’d release the records of everyone with HIV unless they get $60,000 worth of bitcoin.
The medical provider worked with the police to catch and arrest Alberto Hill, a 41 year old Uruguayan. Alberto had a ton of hacker paraphernalia and electronic devices at his house.
The story is covered in 40 minutes in this great podcast:
