Confessions of a Dangerous Cyber Reporter.

Today, the home of Brian McWilliams, a known hacker in
the underground as "bmcw" was raided by the F.B.I in a
sting operation aimed at a high profile hacking group
called FBH, also known as HFG and World of Hell.
Recently this group claimed responisbility for
defacing the RIAA website on numerous occasions making
them a laughing stock of their industry. This group is
famous for their online hacking presence and are
famous for their sense of humour and skill in breaking
into high profile computer networks.

McWilliams was finally tracked down after he was
caught accessing the home computers of System
Administrators that worked for a high profile ISP.
Hidden keyloggers were found on these administrator's
home computers with an SMTP engine setup to send
e-mail of everything they typed to McWilliam's e-mail
account hosted at pc-radio.com.

A newly formed group of computer vigilantes named
GOBBLES who suspected that "bmcw" was posing as a
reporter with the name Brian McWilliams and using his
innate hacking knowledge and social engineering
tactics to get material for stories he sold to online
news agencies, have been said to have intercepted and
record these activities that lead his demise.

The authorities found over twenty machines at the home
of McWilliams and enough material to make Kevin
Mitnick shudder. 

New information has informed us that McWilliams has
been hacking and breaking into computer systems since
the mid eighties and purposely acts unintelligent only
to gain knowledge and skill used with the sole purpose
of hacking. When caught, McWilliams was seen at his
computer finishing a non fictional piece titled "Art
of Deception to the 100th Power. Pi don't equal Pie
Bitch."

In a statement to the press, McWilliams responded,
"King Kong ain't got nothing on me! I am a reporter, I
can do whatever I want. I'll write a story to put you
away for a long time. " McWilliams then said, "Heh."
Heh seems to be a popular term among cyber criminals
who participate in constant outwitting sessions hosted
by eachother on different channels of chat servers
called IRC.
