Teacher From Westchester Caught With Child Porn, Trying To Hack Teen’s Social Media: Feds

November 4, 2023/in Internet Security

Yorktown resident and teacher Giuseppi Micciari, age 27, was arrested on child pornography charges and presented in White Plains federal court on Wednesday, Nov. 1, the US Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York announced.

According to federal officials, Micciari’s arrest followed a review of his cell phone conducted by authorities that revealed the existence of several videos and pictures containing child sexual abuse material.

The review of Micciari’s phone also revealed that he had used an application called Telegram, an Internet and cloud-based instant messaging service that allows users to exchange messages, share files, and hold private calls.

Some communications contained in the Telegram app on Micciari’s phone included a request for an “account hack” of a student’s Snapchat account, in addition to a question from an individual that read, “what age teen content you have.” Micciari’s alleged reply to this was, “there one big Mega 10-17,” according to officials.

Micciari was identified as a teacher by a US passport application submitted in connection with the issuance of his passport. Authorities did not release information on where he is or has been employed.

Micciari is now charged with:

One count of receipt and distribution of child pornography;
One count of possession of child pornography.

Both counts carry a maximum prison term of 20 years, officials said.

New York Field Office of Homeland Security Investigations Special Agent in Charge Ivan Arvelo said that Micciari took advantage of his position as a teacher and should “face just consequences” for his actions.

“Giuseppi Micciari was entrusted with our most vulnerable segment of society – our children. His alleged depraved acts betrayed that trust,” Arvelo said.

Adrianus Warmenhoven, a cybersecurity advisor at NordVPN, said: ‘By Royal Appointment is one of the most valuable endorsements that a company can receive, and these hackers have found a way to gain credit via the back door. It looks like they have managed to insert some malicious code in the metadata of the official Royal Family website and hidden rogue links to all sorts of unsavoury pages.

‘Hackers often use phishing attacks to grab passwords, which can let them log in and edit the website metadata.

‘Visitors to the website shouldn’t stumble across these links, but scammers are benefiting from the association with one of the world’s most prestigious domain names.’

Other trusted domain names have been used to promote and…

Hacker Risks Jail to Out Middlebury College Employee for Alleged Child Porn

July 10, 2021/in Computer Security

A hacker working for a security firm got the shock of their life last month when they stumbled across what appeared to be a Middlebury College employee’s stash of child pornography while hunting for vulnerable computers.

The hacker was faced with a moral quandary: alert law enforcement to their findings and risk criminal charges for hacking—or say nothing and live with a guilty conscience knowing a possible child abuser is on the prowl.

But when they found a picture of the alleged voyeur’s driver’s license on his computer, they decided to take a chance with law enforcement and turn the man in, according to an affidavit obtained by The Daily Beast.

By doing so, the hacker revealed they had broken into the computer and had likely violated the law—but the gamble paid off.

Prosecutors eventually offered the hacker immunity for their cooperation, and the alleged voyeur, Scott I. Remick, a senior technology specialist for Middlebury College in Vermont, was arrested Wednesday for possessing child porn, according to court documents obtained by The Daily Beast. The court documents, unsealed late Wednesday, do not identify the security researcher, whose involvement is somewhat convoluted.

Upon finding the explicit images, the hacker, who was hunting for machines vulnerable to a specific kind of flaw as part of their work with a security research group, established backdoor access to Remick’s computer before handing off the case to law enforcement. They claimed they did so out of a fear that law enforcement officials might not be able to properly investigate the child pornography if they lost access to the trove of pornographic files.

Then, the hacker submitted a report to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) that they observed Remick communicating with a young girl named “Jeanie” over a Tor network. The researcher told NCMEC they suspected Remick was either sharing explicit images with Jeanie or in a relationship with her, according to the affidavit.

“What I saw shook me to my core and I honestly could have never imagined being here in this position,” the…

Utah’s ‘Porn Filter’ Law Passes the State Legislature

March 6, 2021/in Internet Security

If you work in cybersecurity, chances are you’re pretty tired by now. On the heels of Russia’s devastating Solarwinds hack that came to light in December, Chinese hackers have mounted what appears to be a full-on assault against Microsoft Exchange Servers, hitting at least 30,000 servers in the United States alone. China’s spies will whittle down the target list from there for further compromise, but this mess is still going to take a very long time to clean up.

Speaking of messes, apps in both the App Store and Google Play Store still leak too much data too much of the time, according to a new study from mobile security firm Zimperium. Thanks to misconfigured cloud settings, tens of thousands of apps on both platforms inadvertently expose user information like financial data and medical test results. A different category of mistake was found over at far-right platform Gab, which got hacked very very thoroughly, apparently due to a coding error introduced by the platform’s CTO.

Cybersecurity entrepreneur turned man on the run John McAfee was indicted Friday for his alleged involvement in two cryptocurrency scams. Twitch released its first transparency report this week after a decade of, well, not doing that. Microsoft has started testing its decentralized IDs in the real world, if you wanted to put your college diploma on the blockchain. We took a look at how Myanmar’s citizens are dealing with a prolonged internet shutdown during that country’s military coup. And we published our sixth installment of 2034, a fictional account of a near-future war with China that feels all too real.

Conservative lawmakers in Utah have passed a handful of anti-pornography laws in the last few years, including the declaration of a public health crisis in 2016. Now they’ve kicked things up a few notches. Measure HB72 won approval in the state senate this week, and in the house last month, meaning it’s headed for the governor’s desk for a signature. The law would mandate that every new smartphone and tablet sold in the state would come with a…
