"LOVE and his conspirators unlawfully obtained information the victims identified in
thisIndictment morethan 100,000 employee records, including names, social security numbers,
addresses, phone numbers, and salary information, and more than 100,000 financial records,
including credit card numbers and names, and caused loss aggregating in excess of $5 million"
"On or about July4, 2013, LOVE wrote the following in an IRC chatroom using
the online nickname "peace": "it worked ... we have... easily 5-10k contractor and gov credit
cards "
"That same day, LOVE uploaded to a computer server a spreadsheet containing
information obtained from iq.govwin.com, including names, job titles,addresses, phone
numbers, and approximately 23,000 credit cards numbers with expiration dates and items
purchased. Other members of the conspiracy obtained copies of the spreadsheet from the server
on or about January 24,2014, and on or about March 10,2014"
In other chats published in the indictment, Love is alleged to have said: "You have no idea how much we can fuck with the US government if we wanted to," and, after describing the data as "really sensitive", adding: "It's basically every piece of information you'd need to do full identity theft on any employee or contractor for the [government agency]."
Reading the indictment he comes across to me as a credit card thief wrapping his crimes in activism.
