Not so bright VoIP Hacker goes to Prison
Convicted hacker Robert Moore, who is set to go to federal prison this week, says breaking into 15 telecommunications companies and hundreds of businesses worldwide was incredibly easy because simple IT mistakes left gaping technical holes. Moore, 23, of Spokane, Wash., pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit computer fraud and is slated to begin his two-year sentence on Thursday for his part in a scheme to steal voice over IP services and sell them through a separate company. While prosecutors call co-conspirator Edwin Pena the mastermind of the operation, Moore acted as the hacker, admittedly scanning and breaking into telecom companies and other corporations around the world. According to DSL Reports, Moore wasn't all that bright -- considering he made only $20,000 out of the more than one million dollars in illegal profit, the majority of which went to 23-year-old mastermind Edwin Pena. Pena, a Miami "consultant," secretly routed some 500,000 calls through compromised Net2Phone systems
