- USDoD hacker reveals himself as a Brazilian citizen named Luan G.
- He has been involved in significant data breaches and web scraping incidents.
Infamous hacker USDoD, also known as EquationCorp, has disclosed his true identity as Luan G, a 33-year-old Brazilian citizen. The hacker recently made headlines for leaking over 3.2 billion Social Security Numbers (SSNs) from a US-based API firm. USDoD has also breached the FBI’s security platform, InfraGard, and exposed personal details of 87,000 members. In an exclusive conversation with Hackread.com, the hacker expressed his desire to turn his life around, leave cybercrime behind, and contribute positively to Brazil. However, his extradition to the US for cybercrime charges may be complicated due to Brazil’s stance on extraditing its citizens. The USDoD hacker’s intentions to reform and contribute to Brazil’s well-being may impact how authorities handle his case, potentially focusing on rehabilitation rather than severe punishment.
