Jonathan James, The Guy Who Hacked N.A.S.A When He Was Just 15 Years Old. by Timberayz(m): 4:08pm On Feb 27, 2017 |
Jonathan James also known as "comrade",as young as he was the he was had already gained popularity for been the first juvenile to be sent to prison for hacking.One of his most popular hacking scheme was the hacking of National Aeronautics and Space Administration(NASA) database. According to him, he was just looking around, playing around. James's major intrusions targeted high-profile organizations. He installed a backdoor into a Defense Threat Reduction Agency server. The DTRA is an agency of the Department of Defense charged with reducing the threat to the U.S. and its allies from nuclear, biological, chemical, conventional and special weapons. The backdoor he created enabled him to view sensitive emails and capture employee usernames and passwords. James also cracked into NASA computers , stealing software worth approximately $1.7 million. According to the Department of Justice, "The software supported the International Space Station's physical environment, including control of the temperature and humidity within the living space." NASA was forced to shut down its computer systems, ultimately racking up a $ 41,000 cost. James explained that he downloaded the code to supplement his studies on C programming, but contended, "The code itself was crappy, but certainly not worth $1.7 million like they claimed." He was sentenced to 16 years imprisonment, if James, had been an adult he likely would have served at least 10 years. Jonathan James later committed suicide. for more visit http://www.timirexity.com and also like our Facebook page http://www.Facebook.com/timirexity. Thank you

Someone will be telling me, crime doesn't pay. No one can deceive me again after reading this story James Kosta came off the rails and divorced his parents at 13 At 14, he was convicted of 45 counts of technical burglary and convicted to 45 years in prison Instead he was allowed to join the Navy at 18 as intelligence analyst At 20 he joined the CIA tracking funds of warlords in Africa and Middle East At 24 he sold his first dotcom company for tens of millions of dollars Now 37 his games development firm turns over more than $10m a year He also mentors 'troubled youth' to help unlock their potential 'When you look a little deeper, as people did with me, you're able to get kids focused on their potential' Timberayz: |
