Oh, just old fashioned detective work! And they were stupid! Lol! Reminds me of a story on how someone tracked down a Chinese hacker A Chinese Hacker's Identity Unmasked.

@Adnan It's not a duplicate. I already read that question, and it was asking why they can't be caught. My question is how did they get caught (besides the leader).

comment What is the easiest way to search massive, leaked databases for persons and personal information?
Just think of how databases work. They must look up information quickly, and they use indexes for that sometimes, and sometimes they scan the whole table. They aren't going to compress or encrypt that. Just check yourself: less /var/lib/mysql/ibdata1 yields text like this "<80>^@^@ mayorjohnson"

@BurhanAli The DB doesn't have to be plain text. It can be binary. Grep will search binary files too. Unless the DB file uses compression or encryption, it will still have the strings in the file.

comment How do I remove a root kit from Windows XP?
Wipe & reinstall is an overreaction and takes too much time. I ran Autoruns in safe mode and deselected everything odd. The problems was sptd.sys, SCSI Pass Through Direct Host, signed by Duplex Secure Ltd., that comes with Daemon Tools. It spawns a random .sys later in the boot process.

Wipe & reinstall is an overreaction and takes too much time. Just installing Windows is a pain. I happen to have MSSQL Studio. Do you know how long that takes? No way.
