Army Soldier Arrested in President Trump, Harris Call Log Hack

I’m sensing a trend.

On the 1st of Jan. we had two attacks.

Both by military men.

Now we have a U.S. Army soldier has been arrested and indicted on charges of unlawful transfer of confidential phone records.

A 20-year-old Army communications specialist has been indicted for hacking phone records of President Trump.

Phone records of Kamala Harris was also hacked.

The soldier, linked to hacker “Kiberphant0m,” allegedly exploited weak authentication to get access.

Forbes reports:

A U.S. Army soldier has been arrested and indicted on charges of unlawful transfer of confidential phone records following investigations into a 2024 hack that allegedly included the call logs of President-elect Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris.

Alleged Trump Phone Call Logs Hacker Arrested And Indicted
Following the potentially unauthorized access to some customer accounts on May 23, 2024, third-party cloud storage platform Snowflake determined that the incident was a targeted campaign directed at users with single-factor authentication.

One of the men accused of being behind the compromise of these Snowflake-hosted accounts was arrested in November, after which a hacker known as Kiberphant0m bragged on dark web data sale site BreachForums about stealing AT&T call logs for President-elect Donald Trump and for Vice President Kamala Harris.

As reported by Brian Krebs, who was behind much of the initial investigation and reporting of the hack attacks involved, a 20-year-old U.S. Army soldier has now been arrested and indicted on suspicion of being Kiberphant0m.

“The accused,” Krebs said, “is a communications specialist who was recently stationed in South Korea.”

Will there be another military story come out before this week ends?
