Bronc Buster Indicted

Greetings All:

Well, after all of these years of being a network fart in bowls of the internet, hacker Erik Ginorio, aka Bronc Buster, has been indicted in federal court.

Hopefully this will do away with him for a very very long time....

April 28 - The hero of the Oct. 1998 Chinese hacktivism defacements was arrested on an April 9, 2004 indictment on four Federal felonies of a far less noble nature. According to the indictments handed down by the Sacramento Federal prosecutors office, Erik "Bronc Buster" Ginorio, conspired with Christopher "tecdady" Burgess, who was an aggrieved ex-employee of a web design company, to break into its databases and damage them on June 26, 2003. Losses are estimated at $250,000.

The two could face up to five years in prison and $250K in fines if convicted of the conspiracy charges, followed by up to three years of supervised release; and up to ten years behind bars, $250 K in fines followed by three years of supervisory release on the intrusion charges.

You may also remember Bronc Buster as the jackass that once convinced a wired news reporter that was desperately seeking to get in bed with him and Brian Martin (of attrition.org) to run the lame story that AntiOnline was paying hackers to break into websites. (Yes, that article is officially filed in the "wtf" registry of things that make you say "wtf").

On a personal note, I am glad to finally see the bad guys going down, and going down hard. I think it was best said by the Tonight Show's 93 year old fruit cake lady :

She was once asked, "Why do some people want to make trouble for everyone?"

Her reply, based on 93 years of wisdom?

"They're just born *******s. They'll live their lives as *******s. And they'll die as *******s. There's nothing you can do about it. Not one thing on earth. Nothing!"

I think she's right, and I think Erik is a perfect case in point! :booty:

Lol..

Goes to show you can run and bull-**** but you can't hide..
I remember that whole attrition-antionline thing..
To get some (overly biased) info for those that don't know.. search around AO
and read the other side of the story.. http://www.attrition.org/negation/www/con.13.html

JP, do you have a link (source of your quote) for me ??

btw.. great to see you back JP when will your new site(s?) be up (again)..

I am pretty new here, so i just wanted to say hi, great post, and nice to meet you for the first time! Btw, can you give us some more info on these new websites of yours?

Could you post the source for this? I have been unable to locate any news on this from google.

Thanks.

So this guy was with Brian Martin? Interesting.. the attrition dude that's sole purpose in life was to make AO look like utter bullshyt and all that. Nothing like jealousy I always say :D

Nothin but some harmnless Competition i would say, but then again those Attrition dudes are just nasty.

It was up for a while for beta tests, then down for a few months. Now it's back up again for good:

http://www.YoursInCyberSpace.com/

Those of you that remember all of my old writings, and all of my posts on here, I always started them with "Greetings All" and always ended them with "Yours In CyberSpace, John Vranesevich".

So, when I was getting ready to come up with a new site, I thought, what a better domain name to use than Yours In CyberSpace? It's very "me", heh.

The site isn't security related, just a fun place to hang out online, and talk with others about a wide range of issues.

The "old gang" has been hanging out on irc.YoursInCyberSpace.com if anyone wants to drop in and say hi =)

Well... i don't know if this would fit in with this discussion.. but what the hell

I can remember a few years ago AO had two really cool features. First, a free e-mail service. I had an account, but never really used it. Second, it had a listing of attacks that were attempted against the server.

So, what happened to these services? are they only for "senier" members?

Sorry, but i've been offline since sept 2002 and just got back on in the middle of march 2004.

edit:
You might notice that i've been a memeber since oct 2002... but i just said i was offline... It's due to library computers.

AntiOnline is now owned by JupiterMedia. JP sold the site a little over a year ago.

The free e-mail service disappeared before JupiterMedia took over (due to some problems with the mail-provider, if I'm correct?). Not sure what happened to the listing of attacks...

Greetings:

As Negative said, Jupiter Media acquired AntiOnline about a year ago.

The free e-mail service died because Jupiter Media wanted me to terminate them before the site was transfered to them (plenty of time was given for active members to remove mail from the server, and notify people that the address would no longer be valid). Same goes for the hack attempts page, and AntiOnline IRC.

I still have all of the hack attempts code, might add it to my new site, and maybe make it available to others for use on their sites as well. We'll see what happens.

IRC as I said is now available at irc.YoursInCyberSpace.com

Non-security related discussions are welcome at http://www.YoursInCyberSpace.com/

All security related discussions, of course, are still available here at www.AntiOnline.com

Welcome back after your long hiatus!
