He went on to boast about the attacks on social media, according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justice.gov\/opa\/pr\/arizona-man-sentenced-prison-distributed-denial-service-attacks-against-emergency\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">court documents<\/a>, and on Skype chats in his gaming community.<\/p>\n<p>The attack\u2019s motivation is unclear, but it came shortly after a <a href=\"https:\/\/host.madison.com\/news\/local\/crime_and_courts\/fbi-helping-madison-dane-county-investigate-ongoing-cyberattack-anonymous-claims\/article_95f1f722-79e5-5b5f-aba6-d7bc19a34e4b.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">fatal shooting<\/a> of a 19-year-old unarmed black man by a Madison police officer sparked outrage. Police brutality soon became a recurring theme for Tucker.<\/p>\n<p>In the Texas attack, he contacted an activist news site to claim responsibility for the attack, which took down the City of San Marcos\u2019 website, as well as the San Marcos Police Department\u2019s site. He said he was protesting an attack on a 22-year-old Texas woman, whose teeth were reportedly bashed in by a police officer. He <a href=\"http:\/\/countercurrentnews.info\/2015\/03\/hacker-takes-down-police-department-site-after-cop-slams-girls-face-on-concrete-breaks-her-teeth\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">told the outlet<\/a> that he wanted to do \u201cwhat these police can\u2019t do,\u201d in punishing the officer. However, the officer had already been jailed one year prior to the threat.<\/p>\n<p>He <a href=\"http:\/\/observer.com\/2015\/04\/bitcoin-baron-the-violent-hacker-stabbed-father-and-attacked-a-childrens-hospital\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">also later told<\/a> the New York Observer that he targeted \u201canything [he could] find really that\u2019s got something to do with innocent citizens in the crosshairs of police.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, far from being a simple hacktivist filled with an impulse for social justice, a different picture emerges when his activity is collated together.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, in 2014, when he was 19, the Bitcoin Baron sent the D.C.-based video news site <a href=\"http:\/\/news2share.com\/start\/2016\/09\/07\/hacker-who-attacked-news2share-indicted\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">News2Share<\/a> a video of his that he claimed was related to a campaign for hacker group\u00a0Anonymous; when the site declined to post it, he launched a DDoS campaign. The editor finally posted the video, which ultimately garnered less than 500 views.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_133011\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/media.kasperskycontenthub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2018\/06\/22122357\/Bitcoin-Baron.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-133011 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/media.kasperskycontenthub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2018\/06\/22122357\/Bitcoin-Baron-280x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"280\" height=\"300\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: Pinal County, Ariz.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>After that he began his municipal projects, all taking place in 2015. In addition to Madison and San Marcos, he <a href=\"http:\/\/www.news9.com\/story\/28556317\/okc-city-website-hacked-for-second-day-in-a-row\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">took down<\/a> the town website of Moore, Okla., and demanded 100 Bitcoin (about $28,000 at the time), to supposedly demand justice for a man who died in police custody. It\u2019s unclear how he would have used the money for that cause (the town didn\u2019t pay him). Tucker\u2019s other activities include launching DDoS attacks against municipal networks in the Phoenix suburbs of Chandler and Mesa.<\/p>\n<p>He has also been behind DDoS attacks on a number of IRC chat rooms related to hacktivism and gaming.<\/p>\n<p>Some of this story is much more nefarious. He also claimed responsibility for an attack on the website for the Shriners Hospitals for Children organization, which he reportedly defaced with child pornography, according to the Observer.<\/p>\n<p>The hacker pleaded guilty in April of last year to one count of intentional damage to a protected computer, in Madison.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the jail time, U.S. District Judge Douglas L. Rayes of the District of Arizona also ordered Tucker to pay $69,331.56 in restitution.<\/p>\n<p>READ MORE <a href=\"https:\/\/threatpost.com\/ddos-happy-bitcoin-baron-sentenced-to-almost-2-years-in-jail\/133010\/\">HERE<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Far from being a simple hacktivist filled with an impulse for social justice, a different picture emerges when his activity is collated together.
