If this is true the evidence should be given to Congress in open session and Congress should issue Letters of Marquee and Reprisal. Put a price on his head and also send a few boys from Langley after him. People that commit cyber crimes like this need to be hunted down and killed.

If they steal my identity good luck. They are not going to be able to get a loan, obtain a credit card or get much out of my bank account.

I’m sure someone here will enlighten me to what other hassle they can create for me.

But . . . but . . . a 17-year-old would only be interested in Arizona Watermelon, and Skittles, and some DM syrup . . . for his brother . . . he's really not all grown up to do adult thangs, is he? He's such a good boy!

If they steal your identity and commit a crime and they fail to show up in court a warrant will be issued for your arrest.

If your local police don't seek you out, you could be pulled over for a traffic violation,and when a check of your drivers license shows an out standing warrant, you will be handcuffed and taken away. -Tom

Just some interaction with the IRS. That's nothing to worry about, is it?

Interesting if true.

Is he going to have a career as a corporate anti-hacking specialist? Or will the criminals in Russia make him their well-paid bitch?

How does a 17-year-old profit in a meaningful way from 70 million credit card numbers? How did he get the idea to target Target, and get so far into their systems?
