Justice Department Charges Swiss Hacker With Computer Intrusion, Identity Theft | KTTS


The Justice Department has charged a Swiss hacker with computer intrusion and identity theft, just over a week after the hacker took credit for helping to break into the online systems of a U.S. security-camera startup.

An indictment against 21-year-old Till Kottmann was brought Thursday by a grand jury in the Western District of Washington. Federal prosecutors said Thursday that Kottmann, of Lucerne, Switzerland, was initially charged in September on a range of allegations dating back to 2019 involving stealing credentials and data and publishing source code and proprietary information from more than 100 entities on the web.

Hacking the Covid-19 Supply Chain

Covid-19 Vaccines Are ‘Liquid Gold’ to Organized Crime, Interpol Says. Criminal gangs likely will attempt to get their hands on the new Covid-19 vaccines, international police organization Interpol warned. Pharmaceutical firms and their logistics partners are on alert for hacking and physical infiltration that would disrupt supplies of the crucial shots as they become available, The Wall Street Journal reports.

Interpol issued a global orange notice—which it describes as a serious and imminent threat to public safety—to its 194 members, calling the vaccines “liquid gold.” It warned that counterfeit vaccines or fake coronavirus tests could become a growing problem as international travel gradually resumes in the months to come. Interpol issued the warning after the U.K. became the first country to grant emergency-use authorization for a vaccine.

Pfizer
Inc.
and
BioNTech SE

the rollout could start next week.
