Two North Carolina men were arrested for allegedly hacking into the computer systems of several senior government officials, according to an affidavit released by a Virginia district court on Thursday.
Andrew Otto Boggs, 22, who went by the Twitter username "INCURSIO," and Justin Gray Liverman, 24, who went by the moniker, "D3F4ULT," are accused of conspiring with a hacking collective calling itself "CRACKAS WITH ATTITUDE" (CWA) to breach the officials' accounts and publish their personal information online.
Earlier this year, CWA was credited with attacks targeting CIA director John Brennan, FBI Deputy Director Mark Giuliano and the Miami Police.
The hackers used a technique known as "social engineering" to target members of the U.S. government and their families, communicating many of their plans to each other via direct messages on Twitter. Members of CWA utilized several different handles, including @GENUINELYSPOOKY, @CRACKA, and @PORNG0D.
