the network, LAMO cracked a password for a userid with supervisor
rights. Utilizing this userid he was able to broaden his access
as well as perform certain functions within the network. LAMO
created four (4) Lexis/Nexus accounts off of the NEW YORK TIMES
intranet and utilized these accounts for himself and/or friends
to run over 3,000 searches of individuals, address and/or court
documents.
LAMO has committed other computer intrusions into
several other corporations such as AOL: and EXCITE@HOME. Each
time LAMO commits a computer intrusion on a high profile
organization, he reports the vulnerability and intrusion to the
media causing a distrust of the company's clients. The above
mentioned corporations have lost significant money and trust of
their clients due to LAMO's actions.
In the enclosed San Francisco Weekly article, dated
April 16, 2003, LAMO states "he is preparing to announce, ina
few days, weeks or months -- whenever he decides the time is
vight -- his biggest hack yet. On the record, he defines his
target as a "critical-infrastructure-related company"; off the
record, he exhibits ample evidence of his repeated incursions
into the corporations internal system." NYO believes that LAMO
is a threat to the infrastructure of the United States.
The NYO along with the Southern District of New York
(SDNY) completed a sealed complaint charging LAMO with his
unauthorized access into WORLDCOM, NEW YORK TIMES, LEXIS/NEXUS,
SBC COMMUNICATIONS and MICROSOFT. Based on the complaint, a
warrant has been issued for the arrest of LAMO.
The NYO received information that LAMO was to attend
Def Con in Las Vegas, Nevada from August 1-3, 2003. LAMO was
his registration on June 30,
i led court order for a pen
4 i attempt
Due to LAMO's lack of residence and homeless lifestyle,
the NYO is requesting assistance from any/all sources who are
familiar with the technical/hacker community in attempting to
locate LAMO. Any information pertaining to his whereabouts would
be helpful to apprehending him. AMO recently threatened a major
infrastructure and the NYO believes that if LAMO believes he is
going to be arrested he will hack the major infrastructure and go
underground as threatened in the attached article.
