Hacker unleashed computer virus targeting media organizations,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
A computer programmer was convicted in Camden,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], New Jersey,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], on Friday for his launching of a virus that infected approximately 100,000 computers around the world and directed them to attack media outlets that republished stories that mentioned him, according to reports obtained by the National Association of Chiefs of Police.
The jury returned a guilty verdict against Bruce Raisley, 49, of Kansas City, Missouri -- formerly of Monaca,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Pennsylvania -- following a six-day trial before United States District Judge Robert B. Kugler in Camden. Raisley was convicted of the count charged in the Indictment on which he was tried: launching a malicious computer program designed to attack computers and Internet web sites, causing damages.
Raisley formerly volunteered for Perverted Justice, an organization that worked with NBC News' Dateline television show "To Catch a Predator" to identify and apprehend pedophiles. After a falling out with the group and its founder, Xavier Von Erck, Raisley became an outspoken critic of Perverted Justice and Von Erck.
Von Erck retaliated by posing online as an adult woman named "Holly" and initiating an Internet relationship with Raisley. Eventually, Raisley agreed to leave his wife for "Holly" and was photographed by a Perverted Justice volunteer waiting for "Holly" at the airport.
In September 2006,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Radar Magazine published an article entitled "Strange Bedfellows," and in July 2007, Rolling Stone Magazine published an article entitled,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], "To Catch a Predator: The New American Witch Hunt for Dangerous Pedophiles." Both articles discussed the television show "To Catch a Predator" and, more specifically, the techniques employed by Perverted Justice and the show to ensnare pedophiles. Both articles discussed the episode between Raisley and Von Erck posing as "Holly."
The two articles proved popular, and were later posted on a number of web sites beyond Radar and Rolling Stone,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], including a web site operated by the Rick Ross Institute of New Jersey. As a result,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Raisley devised a plan to remove the articles from the web sites.
Specifically, Raisley developed a virus that would spread over the Internet and infect computers. When he deployed the virus, it infected approximately 100,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],000 computers across the world, creating what is known as a "botnet." Expert witnesses explained that a botnet is a collection of victim computers that are remotely controlled to accomplish tasks such as sending out e-mail spam or, as in this case, attacking web sites.
Raisley used the botnet to launch distributed denial of service attacks. Such attacks caused the 100,000 computers to repeatedly attempt to access any web sites that posted the two articles in an effort to overwhelm the computers that hosted the web sites and shut down the web sites. The effect of denial of service attacks is akin to an "all circuits are busy" message-making it impossible for Internet users to access the content of the victim web sites,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], including,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], of course, the two articles.
Evidence admitted at trial demonstrated that Raisley targeted and attacked a number of web sites, including those of Rolling Stone, Radar, Nettica, Corrupted Justice, and the Rick Ross Institute of New Jersey. In total,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], those web sites suffered damages in excess of $100,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],000 in lost revenues and mitigation.
The count on which Raisley was convicted carries a statutory maximum sentence of 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], as well as restitution to the victims of his offense. In addition,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], he served as director of public safety at a New Jersey university and director of security for several major organizations. He's also served on the National Drug Task Force and trained police and security officers throughout the country. Kouri writes for many police and security magazines including Chief of Police, Police Times, The Narc Officer and others. Kouri appears regularly as on-air commentator for over 100 TV and radio news and talk shows including Fox News Channel, Oprah, McLaughlin Report, CNN Headline News, MTV, etc..
