IRL Name:
Raphael Gray
Biography:
Raphael Gray was just 19 when he hacked computer systems around the world over six weeks between January and February 1999 as part of a multi-million pound credit card mission. He then proceeded to publish credit card details of over 6,500 cards as an example of weak security in the growing number of consumer websites.
Gray was able to break into the secure systems using just a £800 computer he bought in his home town Clynderwen, Pembrokeshire, Wales. After publishing the credit card info on his webpages Gray posted on the page that law enforcers would never find him "because they never catch anyone. The police can't hack their way out of a paper bag."
