Someone from the forum about to be arrested. What are your thoughts?
What are you gonna do, avoid league of legends or don't do shady stuff?

APOMacroSploit is believed to be the work of two French-based threat actors "Apocaliptique" and "Nitrix," who are estimated to have made at least $5000 in less than two months selling the product on HackForums.net.

Further investigation by Check Point involved chasing the digital trail left by the two operators — including two League of Legends player profiles — ultimately leading the researchers to unmask the real identity of Nitrix, who revealed his actual name on Twitter when he posted a picture of a ticket he bought for a concert in December 2014.

Can't help but wonder if Nitrix and Apocaliptique have been contacted already after seeing this in the article:

Check Point Research said it had alerted law enforcement authorities about the identities of the attackers.

I knew playing League of Legends wasn't good for you, but imagine ending up in prison because of your gaming profile.

Imagine getting busted because you played league and flexed a concert ticket. Good luck Nitrix #FreeNitrix

Never met him sadly, but I hope he is back soon too.

Use hacking as a learning tool - stop doing dumb shit. I swear to god though I ain't hiding so if any feds legit just DM me with proof I'll help them in their investigation .

If I somehow go to jail for just learning for hobby purposes and security for friends and family - then you should all be scared as they would basically be saying they can pin anything on you - even discussing hypotheticals to reverse engineer/think tank ideas and methods.

The 2 in the OP though are dickheads.

30k posts - I'm sure they've looked into me but ffs I ain't doing anything wrong my dudes and if I am get some feds on HF to explain what we are accused of rather then waiting till it's too late.

This is a good point, there's nothing wrong on researching security for hobby or legit professional purposes but i think the point here was that they were selling tools that were used for criminal purposes, the articles says it was used in a chain that had hacked servers to host second stage payloads.

Looks like the feds are coming back from foot patrol.

Time for the strormtroopers to roll into hackforums. Free Nitrix I never got to meet him

[C++]

Oh, dear Nitrix. The bad thing he is a software developer and this might get on way of his career. I hope not, wish luck to you two.

[shakur123]

[siddy357]
