A hacker going by the name "US DOD" has been revealed to be a Brazilian music producer named Luen Goncalves.  US DOD is one of the most notorious leakers, having stolen and published information from various organizations including the FBI, NATO, Airbus, LinkedIn, and Crown Strike.  The leaked data includes personal details of nearly every US citizen.  Goncalves claims he didn't choose his targets based on politics but mostly targeted the US government.  Security researchers were able to unmask Goncalves' identity due to operational security mistakes he made, such as using the same email to register both his personal account and the account he used for US DOD activities.  Goncalves has admitted his identity and says he will cooperate with authorities.
