The news of the arrest of "Boss", leader of the Eagle Hunter organization, caused a sensation in the hacker and information security community.
No one expected Los Angeles to be able to catch such a huge criminal in such a short frame of time…
What surprised people the most was that "Boss", who the FBI had been trying to catch for nearly a decade, lived in a townhome 500 meters away from a police station.
Apparently, the reason why the Los Angeles police were able to catch the perp so quickly was because of an anonymous tip.
The email didn't leave any contact information, only an alias—Dr. Z.
This name sounded quite mysterious.
The Los Angeles Times reporters had contacted experts in the field of information security, in hopes of finding out who Dr. Z was. They hadn't been able to find any clues behind the identity of this mysterious person.
It was like this person came out of thin air.
