On November 13, 2021, the FBI’s email system was hacked by Pompompurin, later revealed as Conor Brian Fitzpatrick, a 20 year old hacker. Using a flaw in the FBI’s email system, he sent thousands of fake emails, targeting cybersecurity expert Vinny Troia and claiming he was part of The Dark Overlord group. This audacious attack exposed flaws in the Law Enforcement Enterprise Portal LEAP, embarrassing the FBI and raising questions . Fitzpatrick’s arrest in 2023 revealed he was also the creator of BreachForums, a notorious marketplace for stolen data. From trolling the FBI to masterminding high-profile data breaches, Pompompurin’s story is a cautionary tale of how confidence can spiral into federal investigations and conspiracy.
