I was rummaging through a few articles dealing with hackers in the past 3 years and came upon one that immediately caught my attention. “12 YEAR OLD HACKER”. I thought to myself, WOW!, this kid is something else. This article has been deleted many times without the authors knowledge. So I am here to put it back up.

“The internet has been full of talk about a young hacker who recieved, what most believe, is an unfair punishment. Unfair because most would have recieved a harsher punishment. This young female, 12 years of age, was charged for hacking into a federal database. Not just her, but 4 others who were apart of a group she had put together called “The Deff Krew”. Deff stands for Digital Entertainment for Free. The young hacker put a plan together to protest the lack of information on the internet for free. The plan was called Operation DE. Def Krew claimed that the government was “sweeping valuable information under the rug”. Their idea was to get the information, particulary on conspiracies. Unfortunately, during this operation, the FBI took control. Being that the young lady, known as SubZero, was the main operator of the plan, she ended up going to federal court. Her companions, Cobra, IceMan, Defonic, and IceAge were released with a minor monetary charge. SubZero was then released. The consequence was not being able to use a computer for 2 years under the US Federal Agency starting on July 2nd with the acception of monitored use at school.”

“I did it because there is so much that we should know that the government won’t let us know, things that I wanted to know, so I found a way to do it…that and it was a cool experience.”

This young lady has decided to go from a black hat hacker to a white hat hacker. Her business being Web Design and Information Security as protecting computers instead of infiltrating them. Yet still, her love for information will never decrease, once she wants something, I’m quite sure she’ll get it.
