A complete amateur.\n1. He left directory listing enabled on his own server, so researchers could figure out who he was with barely any effort.\n2. They found files like CLAUDE.md and went through his Claude Code sessions.\n3. There were questions like, “Where can I sell this data?”\n4. He’d also asked, “Can you write my résumé?” That pretty much handed them all his personal information.\n5. Apparently, he’s a student at South China University of Technology living in Guangdong. His name, phone number, and where he lives have all been identified.\n\nLast week some of South Korea's biggest banks were hit by a cyberattack. Thanks to a report from CrowdStrike tonight, we now know the entire hack may have been done by a single person.
