Actually I meant a password like 1-2-3-4-5. (That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard! Sounds like the combination an idiot would have on his luggage!)
Seriously though, between weak passwords and a friend of a friend giving someone a password, this could be a ruse. No arrests yet either. We'll know soon enough I guess.
If we do this the POTUS can not ride the emotional wave and cry in front of the world.
Space Balls......epic
President Skroob? Is that you?
I have been on the opinion all along that this is something bigger than some schmuck jerking Plainfield around. Because if some schmuck is really this hard to trace and catch we are much more at risk than I thought. It bothers me greatly that my paranoid tendencies are not deep and wide enough for reality.
I have to admit my thoughts are near the same.
Man arrested for having firearm at Plainfield High School during forum on cyber threats | Fox 59
I hear this made the crowd real happy! Then to top it off, the other jerk was texting threats with quotes from the forum.....meaning he was sitting in the public forum as it was going on. Maybe this was a slip on his part.....surely they had surveillance cameras rolling.

BUSTED!!
PLAINFIELD, Ind. – A California man faces several felony charges in connection with the cyber threats that put Plainfield on edge more than a year ago—and federal authorities believe he victimized minors in at least 10 other federal districts in a “sextortion” scheme.
Buster Hernandez, 26, is charged with sexual exploitation of a child, threats to use an explosive device and threats to injure in the Plainfield case, which began with a series of threats posted on social media on Dec. 16, 2015. Federal prosecutors announced charges in the case during a news conference Monday.
Hernandez was arrested Thursday in California and had an initial hearing Friday. He’ll be moved to Indianapolis by the end of the week.
U.S. Attorney Josh Minkler said Monday that Hernandez wanted to be the “worst cyberterrorist who ever lived.”
The investigation was complex, Minkler said, requiring more than 100 state and federal search warrants along with electronic surveillance, wiretapping and sophistic computer forensics techniques. Minkler said more than 200 grand jury subpoenas were issued in an effort to find the “needle in a haystack.”
Hernandez faces a minimum term of 15 years and a maximum term of 30 years if convicted, prosecutors said.
“Law enforcement has identified victims in at least 10 federal districts, maybe more,” Minkler said, directing people who may have been victimized to report it at the FBI website or call 317-595-4000, Option 2.
Using online accounts, Hernandez approached minors and said he had lewd or sexually explicit videos and photos, court documents said. He then asked for more and threatened to expose them unless they sent additional photos and videos. One of his targets, referred to as “Victim 1” in court documents, was a girl from Plainfield.
Hernandez had such a hold on one victim that he convinced her to go to a public forum on the case in Plainfield and report back what people said during the meeting and what law enforcement knew about the person responsible for the threats.
From Dec. 17, 2015, through Jan. 11, 2016, Hernandez opened 10 Facebook accounts in order to make threats and then disabled them, investigators said. From Jan. 11, 2016, through Jan. 27, 2016, he opened and closed 14 Facebook accounts. Hernandez opened an additional two accounts on Feb. 16, 2017.
“Truth is, I lied about knowing her,” Hernandez wrote on Facebook. “I don’t know [Victim 1]. I’ve never met her. She’s just a girl who was very unlucky and had her cloud storage hacked. From there I dragged her through the mud by spreading lies and misinformation to reach my goals that really had no relation with her whatsoever. I basically used her as an access point to attack an entire town.”
Kil demanded videos be sent to a Dropbox and then sent a demand from a telephone. The phone number proved key, leading investigators to an address in Bakersfield, Calif., where they found Hernandez.

I was very pleased with the US Attorney that spoke in a loud and clear voice on the child exploiters. Naming Kyle Cox and Jared Fogle specifically as examples of what happens to such people in Indiana. Federal Prison. I am also very happy that the authorities stayed with this until it was concluded.
On another not I am concerned at how vulnerable we are as a whole to such attacks. Plainfield schools as I understand it have lost permanently over 100 students because of this episode. That would be more that be half a million dollars in funding lost per year. I don't blame the families at all but it would make it hard on any school system, and especially on a small school. So a long lasting impact on a ton of people.
Also curious if the search warrants served on Avon Ave in Plainfield were wild goose chases or just a large loop thrown around the investigation.

[h=1]Court docs: Suspect in ‘Brian Kil’ cyber threats case agrees to plead guilty to 41 counts
[/h]INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.– The man behind the “Brian Kil” threats that terrorized Plainfield residents several years ago filed a petition Thursday to plead guilty.
Buster Hernandez, 28, is accused of threatening underage girls and forcing them to send sexually explicit material. He targeted hundreds of minors in the United States and one foreign county, including six teen girls from Indiana.
Court documents show Hernandez has agreed to plead guilty to 41 counts. Those charges include child pornography, threats and extortion, and witness tampering.
The court accepted the plea Thursday night.
The sextortion started in 2012 and continued through August 2017. He contacted victims through various social media accounts, demanding they send him sexually explicit videos and photos and threatening to murder, rape, kidnap, and injure them if they didn’t comply. He also encouraged some of the victims to kill themselves, according to court documents.
Hernandez typically began extorting the victims when they were between the ages of 12 and 15, prosecutors say. Hernandez used the Tor network to mask his true IP addresses and location.
The threats at Plainfield High School occurred between late 2015 and early 2016, and it prompted the evacuation and the closure of Plainfield schools and businesses.
His sentencing is set for May 21 at noon.

Unfortunately, given our system of "justice", he'll be out in a couple of years, free to carry on as he pleases, instead of pushing up daisies where he belongs.
