Nicholas Moore, a 24-year-old from Springfield, Tennessee, pleaded guilty Friday to hacking the U.S. Supreme Court's filing system on 25 separate occasions in 2023. Using stolen credentials, Moore accessed personal records and bragged about his exploits on Instagram under the handle "@ihackedthegovernment."
Moore also admitted to illegally accessing AmeriCorps computer servers and a Department of Veterans Affairs veteran's health platform, posting screenshots of the stolen information online. He faces up to one year in prison on a misdemeanor computer fraud charge, with sentencing scheduled for April 17 before U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell in Washington, D.C.
