Brian Salcedo was convicted in 2004 of conspiracy to commit wire and computer fraud in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 371 for accessing a home improvement chain's wireless LAN in an attempt to recover credit card numbers. Salcedo gained access to the computer system used by the Lowe's chain of home improvement stores and installed a program to capture credit numbers used during transactions at the Southfield store. Lowe's monitored the intrusions while six numbers were captured. Although Salcedo did not view the credit card numbers, the government claims that the crime could have caused more than $2.5 million in damages. Salcedo initially was charged with 16 counts of wire fraud and unauthorized intrusion but plead guilty to reduced charges as part of a plea bargain. At the time of his arrest, He was on a grant of probation within the guidelines of the Holmes Youthful Training Act. Salcedo was sentenced to 9 years in prison for his involvement. The government claims that at the time of its imposition, Salcedo's sentence was the longest federal prison sentence ever given to a hacker for a computer intrusion offense. Prior to Salcedo’s sentence, Kevin Mitnick held the record with a 68-month sentence. Salcedo appealed the sentence, arguing that the actual harm done rather than the potential harm done should be used as a factor to determine the length of the sentence. On July 10, 2006 the U.S. 4th Circuit Court of Appeals denied the appeal.

Was raised in Meridian, Idaho. Shortly after his parents divorced at 14, he became a part of his local BBS scene and during high school several friends state that he was carrying printouts of hacker zine Phrack and phreaking free phone calls. During his junior year he broke into his high school and vandalized it. In 1991, he would make a physical threat against a ex-girlfriend, be found guilty of assault with a deadly weapon, and sentenced to 5 years in prison. Upon being released in 1995, he started a double-life of doing security tests for various corporate clients and breaking into various private networks after hours. In 1998, his attempts to backdoor federal sites whilest fixing a security hole of the BIND name server daemon would eventually backfire when an Air Force Investigator traced him through his pop-up notifications and in 2001 he was sentenced to 18 months in federal prison.

After his release in 2002 he started a venture with Christopher Aragon, stealing stolen credit card information from other hackers due to his logic that most of them were "all teeth and no shell." From there he moved on to small banks and credit unions listed on the FDIC's website that were unable to afford high end security and was pulling 'virgin' credit card numbers. In April 2004, he was arrested after using 'suspicious' credit cards at the San Francisco's W Hotel and was sentenced to 3 years probation. He would start his own network to sell credit card information, CardersMarket, shortly after Operation Firewall under the handle Iceman. Shortly afterwards he would infiltrate 4 rival networks and blink their sites out of existance in an successful attempt to become the biggest carder site on the internet.

After this, he would absorb DarkMarket and warned people concerning a sting relating to their site and informed members of CardersMarket that DarkMarket Master Splynter was a federal agent. In November 2006, he declared Iceman's retirement due to fears that the feds were after him and handed control of CardersMarket over to Th3CorruptedOne. Eventually, Jonathan "Zebra" Giannone would give information out concerning him after being busted himself when he sold 21 Bank of America Platinum Card numbers to a federal agent for $600. In September 5th, 2007 he was finally arrested by the secret service after an extended investigation. It is also believed that Th3CorruptedOne was a Secret Service informat who infiltrated CardersMarket which is how they were able to obtain information on the measures Butler used to cover his tracks. Upon checking his hard drive they found approximately 1 million credit card dumps. Currently he is in prison awaiting trial and will most likely face a sentence of 30 years to life.

Thomas Swingler was charged in federal court in New York with trafficking in unlawful access devices for his online business http://www.cablehack.net. The site, still in operation, sells "pre-modded" Motorola Surfboard modems for between $38 and $58 that can be customized by the owner without a cable company's knowledge. Among other things, the user can set their own upload and download rates, and change the MAC address — the unique identifier normally hard-coded into a modem. While known as a bot net script kiddie and a general douchebag among various circles, he gained notoriety when he took things to a new level of stupidity by selling preconfigured modified modems to the FBI. It is also important to note that he was kicked out of SBHacker for "breaking a contract, lying, scamming, juping, being an all-around asshole/douchebag, and crossing some legal boundaries by publicly encouraging theft of service and bragging about his botnets".
