Man who hacked US Supreme Court filing system sentenced to probation

Nicholas Moore has been handed a year of probation after admitting to multiple breaches of the U.S. Supreme Court's electronic filing system. His hacking spree, which spanned several months, also included unauthorized access to AmeriCorps and the Department of Veterans Affairs. Moore showcased his exploits on social media, specifically through an Instagram account named @ihackedthegovernment, where he revealed personal details of his victims. By utilizing the credentials of one of his targets, he managed to infiltrate the Supreme Court's system, along with the networks of AmeriCorps and the Veterans Affairs Department. Initially facing a potential one-year prison sentence and a hefty $100,000 fine, the court ultimately opted for probation, following a recommendation from prosecutors. During the sentencing, Moore expressed remorse for his actions, stating, "I made a mistake. I am truly sorry. I respect laws, and I want to be a good citizen."
