At least two of the hackers that were recently snagged in a two-year 
sting operation by the FBI were involved in the hacking of UFC.com and 
company president Dana White’s personal information.

Mir Islam, aka “JoshTheGod,” and a 15-year-old hacker from California 
that goes by the moniker “CosmoTheGod,” were reportedly two of the key 
minds behind UGNazi, the group that took credit for the UFC-related 
hacking.

Islam was charged with the trafficking of at least 50,000 stolen credit 
card numbers. “CosmoTheGod” is a minor, so there is much less

the UFC had been involved with officials on the case because of matters 
related to piracy of UFC properties.
