Eric Crocker, a U.S. citizen, has admitted that he and his associates had access to at least 6,000 computers without permission. Mr. Crocker is also known as ‘Festman’ and was a member of an international hacking forum. With the help of that hacking forum called Darkode, Crocker and his associates spread malware through Facebook and attacked at least 6,000 computers by July. Did.
That’s why they were able to program the affected users’ Facebook accounts in such a way that everyone would send malware to their friends on Facebook. If you download and click this file, the computer will be infected and the computer of that Facebook user will also spread malware / spam.
In this way, Crocker and his associates have earned 300 for every 10 thousand computers spread the virus.
And now Eric Crocker has claimed responsibility for that cyber attack. Crocker could face up to three years in prison or a 2.5 million fine, or both, as punishment for the cyber-attack.
