Some merely threatened the viability of AY&#8217;s practice:<\/p>\n<p>Other emails were even more dark, the sentencing memo claims, alleging Purbeck threatened to place AY&#8217;s family members on various sex offender registers. He was quoted as saying:<\/p>\n<p>The prosecutors noted that AY suffered damages to the tune of $92,095 as a result of Purbeck&#8217;s extortion attempts against her and her patients.<\/p>\n<p>He seemed to really have it in for the dental sector, as a year later a Florida orthodontist, known only as &#8220;DS,&#8221; was on the receiving end of the extortionist&#8217;s handiwork.<\/p>\n<p>In a similar fashion, Purbeck gained access to the systems of DS&#8217; practice, stole patient data, and used it as leverage to extort the orthodontist for $15,000 worth of Bitcoin, say prosecutors.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Over the following ten days, Purbeck harassed DS with a series of emails and SMS messages, says the memo. Some contained patient data such as their name, date of birth, and social security number (SSN). Further down the line, Purbeck stooped lower, identifying DS&#8217;s daughter, a minor, as an intimidation tool.<\/p>\n<p>Purbeck wrote in one email:<\/p>\n<p>The following day, the memo claims, Purbeck texted DS&#8217;s wife demanding the extortion payment be paid before he started contacting patients.<\/p>\n<p>DS refused to pay Purbeck, who then followed through with his threat to inform his patients in a ploy to ramp up the pressure to pay the ransom. One patient was sent a text containing an X-ray of their teeth, for example.<\/p>\n<p>The text read:<\/p>\n<p>Purbeck even messaged teenage patients, threatening to sell their SSNs to criminals looking for a &#8220;fresh start.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Similar to AY, DS ultimately suffered extensive losses. The court heard these amounted to&nbsp; $285,980.13 \u2013 a huge amount spent on forensic audits, notifications, remediation, and legal fees that eventually forced DS to sell his practice.<\/p>\n<p>For two years after, DS said he and his family were on the brink of bankruptcy.<\/p>\n<p>AY, DS, and the Griffin clinic, were just three of the 19 people and organizations victimized by Purbeck, says the memo, submitted late last week.<\/p>\n<p>The government adds that others included:<\/p>\n<ul readability=\"3\">\n<li readability=\"-1\">\n<p>the City of Newnan police department<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li readability=\"-1\">\n<p>A Locust Grove medical clinic<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li readability=\"-1\">\n<p>A former mayor in Michigan<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li readability=\"-1\">\n<p>A medical billing service in Alaska<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>An optometry clinic<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>A dialysis clinic<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li readability=\"-1\">\n<p>A church in Stone Mountain<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>A correctional facility<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li readability=\"-1\">\n<p>Am Idaho health department<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Others<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The list also included, abhorrently, a safe house for women and children who were victims of domestic violence.<\/p>\n<p>The FBI raided Purbeck&#8217;s home in August 2019, seizing devices that contained the personal data of 132,000 people. He admitted during an interview in his backyard that he was the individual behind the Lifelock moniker, responsible for various attacks including AY&#8217;s, made $48,000 from various extortion attempts, and engaged in &#8220;some minor identity theft&#8221; like creating bank accounts using the data he stole.<\/p>\n<p>Purbeck was indicted in March 2021, after which time, as <em>The Register<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theregister.com\/2024\/03\/20\/serial_extortionist_of_medical_facilities\/\">previously reported<\/a>, he tried on multiple occasions to recover his devices that were seized by the FBI. He also tried to counter-sue those who arrested him, alleging among other things that his genitals were groped during the process, allegedly bringing on a bout of PTSD that required a psychotherapist&#8217;s intervention.<\/p>\n<p>Commenting on Purbeck&#8217;s sentencing this week, Sean Burke, Acting Special Agent in Charge of FBI Atlanta, said: &#8220;Cyber extortion is unfortunately a rapidly growing threat and highlights the ever-growing need for corporations to remain vigilant in cybersecurity efforts. This sentencing is just one example of the FBI working together to hold criminals that hide behind their computers accountable, regardless of their location.&#8221; \u00ae<\/p>\n<p> READ MORE <a
