Hacker Pleads Guilty For Stealing Supreme Court Documents and Leaking via Instagram

Between August and October 2023, 24-year-old Nicholas Moore used stolen credentials to repeatedly access and extract sensitive information from multiple U.S. government systems — notably the Supreme Court electronic filing system, AmeriCorps, and the VA MyHealthEVet platform — and publicly posted screenshots and victim data on Instagram under @ihackedthegovernment; this public disclosure led to his identification and guilty plea to unauthorized computer access and fraud, with sentencing scheduled for April 17, 2026. The report documents the credential-based attack vector, scope of exposed PII/PHI, agencies involved in the investigation, and the prosecution details.
