Anonymous hacker caught in the sea

The FBI arrested Martin Gottesfeld, 31, accused of belonging to the hacker group Anonymous, after he was picked up by a Disney cruise ship. Martin and his wife on their own yacht headed towards Cuba. The arrest was linked to a hacker attack on the Boston Children's Hospital in 2014.

In 2014, an unpleasant incident occurred with a minor girl Justina Peltier[Justina Pelletier]. Her parents transferred her to a Boston hospital from another medical institution with a diagnosis of mitochondrial disease. However, the hospital staff decided that the girl was actually suffering not from this, but from the cruel treatment of her parents with her, and transferred her to a psychiatric ward. Parents had to defend their point of view in court, which they eventually won.

This story was widely publicized, and in early 2014, the Anonymous hacker group posted a message on YouTube containing threats against the hospital and the doctor who was involved in Justina’s case. The hospital network was still attacked by hackers as part of the #OpJustina operation, and was unavailable for a whole week. According to the hospital, it was damaged about $ 300,000.

In October 2014, the FBI linked the YouTube video to the identity of Gottesfeld and followed him until he and his wife disappeared from the house a few weeks ago. But he was soon found - on board the Disney liner, but not as a passenger, but as a victim, saved by the team. It is known that on board the yacht that Martin and his wife drove to Cuba, they had luggage and several computers.
