Hacker or hacked?


The journey of Alberto Daniel Hill, also known as @ADanielHill, is a complex narrative that intertwines his expertise in cybersecurity, a controversial arrest and conviction, his fight for digital justice, and his subsequent influence as a thought leader and author.

Professional Background and Initial Discovery:Alberto, a 41-year-old Uruguayan, dedicated over 20 years to the field of computing, specializing in security. Holding an engineering degree, a master's in computing, and certifications like PMP and Certified Ethical Hacker, he worked as a security consultant for the Uruguayan government for four years, performing system audits and malware investigations. He also collaborated with Interpol on digital forensics and is a recognized expert in cryptocurrencies. Driven by an innate curiosity, he would often find and report vulnerabilities in websites. In 2015, while helping his girlfriend access a medical provider's website in Montevideo, he discovered a critical vulnerability: he could log in as an administrator using "admin" for both username and password, gaining access to extensive medical, personal, and financial data. He immediately reported this severe flaw (rated 10 out of 10) to CERT Uruguay, a government-run computer emergency readiness team, and assumed it would be fixed.

The Hack, Arrest, and Coerced Confession:Two years later, in February 2017, the same medical institution was hacked, and patient records were stolen. The hacker sent a ransom email, demanding 15 Bitcoins and threatening to publish sensitive patient data. Seven months later, police, in "Operation Bitcoins," traced the extortion email's IP address to Alberto's apartment in Montevideo. Alberto was called to the police station and, upon realizing it was about the medical provider, felt relieved, thinking it concerned his earlier report. He openly explained how he had found the "admin/admin" vulnerability. However, the police then presented the extortion email, claiming it was sent from his IP. Despite his denials, he was detained.

The next day, police raided his apartment, seizing a vast array of items they deemed "hacker paraphernalia": $1,400 USD, €8,000, 13 hard drives, seven laptops, ten cell phones, credit card cloners, blank cards, an Anonymous mask, and even his pet cactus, Walter, and a paper cutter the police mistook for a guillotine. Alberto tried to explain that these were for research, collecting, or professional purposes, but his explanations were ignored by officers who lacked technical knowledge. Under intense psychological pressure and threats to raid his mother's house and harass his girlfriend,

S01E02 - Operación Bitcoins: Login To HELL ep. 1 of 10

“In 2014, Alberto Daniel Hill, an expert in cybersecurity, found a security issue in a medical provider’s website. In reporting the issue, it led him to become the first person imprisoned in Uruguay for a computer-related crime—a crime he didn’t commit, and one that probably never even happened. Alberto, a hacker, was the perfect target for a judicial system that doesn’t understand cybersecurity or cybercrimes. Through police misconduct and incompetence, his life was thrown into upheaval, and he is still recovering from a system where there are no guarantees of a fair trial. Rife with injustice and anguish, Alberto’s story doesn’t have a fairy tale ending. It is a lesson for Uruguay and the world to implement fair processes for prosecuting cybercrimes. Alberto’s tale will stand as a stark reminder of the dangers of a judiciary system that hasn’t caught up to the technology of the 21st century.“ Stephanie Holland, Editor https://darkdeepweb.com/ History featured in the podcast Darknet Diaries: https://darknetdiaries.com/episode/25/ The book about the story: http://amazon.albertohill.com https://darkweb.today/ https://darkdeepweb.com/ https://twitter.com/DarkwebToday https://twitter.com/ADanielHill

There was no crime, the crime is the ignorance and incompetence of the Cert, Police and Justice system

There was no crime, the crime is the ignorance and incompetence of the Cert, Police and Justice system In Feb 2017, a medical provider in Uruguay got hacked. The attacker stole a bunch of patient records and then used that to conduct extortion on the provider. They said they’d release the records of everyone with HIV unless they get $60,000 worth of bitcoin. The medical provider worked with the police to catch and arrest Alberto Hill, a 41 year old Uruguayan. Alberto had a ton of hacker paraphernalia and electronic devices at his house. The story is covered in 40 minutes in this great podcast: https://darknetdiaries.com/episode/25/ This podcast tells small portions of the story that were not mentioned in the podcast, or were mentioned and here I give more details about each one of them. It is a very long story, that has everything.....! Inspired on Darknetdiaries.com idea. Real hacking content. Hackers are humans so the stories include hacking, love, death, corruption and everything you can imagine and things you cannot imagine. This podcast is produced by the first hacker to serve time in prison in #Uruguay for a computer-related crime.

S00E03 - La mentira del hackeo del Circulo Catolico

S00E03 - La mentira del hackeo del Circulo Catolico

(ESP) S00E03 - La mentira del hackeo del Circulo Catolico 23 de febrero 2020 - luego de una revision detallada de los logs, una tercera parte comprueba lo que ya habia dicho hace meses. "ATAQUE INFORMATICO" seguramete lo soñaron.. esta todo bien. La actividad asociada a la IP que supuestamente estaba asignada a mi en el momento de las alertas rojas, no es algo ligado a un patron de ataque. Falsos positivos. Adicionalmente sin logs de Tomcat, esas hojas no tienen ningun valor. Inconsistencias insostenibles - Noticias difundidas inventadas a medida. ¿que dimensiones tiene la presión psicológica, amenazas, etc, vinculadas a una extorsión?, donde entiendo, una victima se quiebra y accede por no soportar las consecuencias de no cumplir con lo solicitado por lo valioso e importante que esta en riesgo. Si me dicen que si no confieso determinado delito, van a causarle mucho dolor y sufrimiento a determina persona, si esa persona, no tiene ningún significado para mi, esa presión para confesar algo que no hice, no me provoca nada. Ahora, si esa persona es lo único que tengo en el mundo, ahí si, patológicamente me quiebran en un segundo y accedo a darles lo que me piden para evitar eso. Eso creo es una interesante analogía en los factores psicológicos y presiones de una extorsión entre lo que paso en la mutualista, y lo que podría llegar a pasar para conseguir que alguien acceda algo que lo perjudica, pero de no hacerlo, esa persona va a sufrir muchísimo, y no por el, sino por lo afirmaron pasaría de no acceder. Me doy cuenta que la real VICTIMA DE EXTORSIÓN QUE ENCAJA PERFECTAMENTE CON LO QUE SE DEFINE EN EL CPP, FUI YO. Yo tengo mis dudas, las cuales son muy fuertes, de que realmente, se hubiera infectado a la institución con software malicioso que les hiciera perder todo. Dudo que se haya robado la base de datos de la mutualista. Capaz que estoy totalmente equivocado y si, la mutualista fue victima de extorsión sin la menor duda, y yo fui un imbécil al acceder a declarar algo que no hice, porque WINSTON RODRIGUEZ puede legalmente hacerme los planteos que me hizo, y que yo actuara de la forma que actuee, cuando, como voy a cambiar de postura sabiendo que iba a pasar una noche mas en instalaciones de interpol, donde, si, psicologicamente lograron quebrarme para responder que si a todo, porque no sabia lo que podian llegar a hacer conmigo esa noche, y no sabia si no iba a volver un noche mas. Me quebraron, y para proteger lo que yo mas valoro en la vida, repondi que si si si a todo No se si se puede llegar a entender el sufrimiento, angustia, incertidumbre, temor, que me provocaron, que no pasaba por mi cabeza no hacer lo que me dieron, porque me senti mas vulnerable que nunca en mi vida, y que ademas en mis manos, estaba tambien el bienestar de mi Madre y de mi ex-pareja. Yo infiero que todos esos sentimientos, que me generaron con sus palabras, con sus plantes, son los que se presentan en una extorison “real”. Sufrimiento, angustia, incertidumbre, temor, paralizacion, miedo, dudo que hayan experimentado en el proveedor de servicios de salud. Yo me siento la victima de una extorison, y no la mutualista. Yo he pasado mal, con mucho temor y mucha angustia. podcast@hack24.xyz Leave me voice messages that I can use for the podcast! https://anchor.fm/psicohacker/messages PODCAST WEBSITE: https://hack24.xyz https://albertohill.com @ADanielHill
