Cameron John Wagenius, a 21-year-old US Army soldier, was arrested for allegedly hacking AT&T and obtaining President Trump's call logs to sell the information to a foreign agent. His online searches, including inquiries about treason and defecting to Russia, raised concerns of a flight risk, leading prosecutors to seek his detention. Wagenius, who intends to plead guilty, is also linked to extorting stolen data from Snowflake cloud accounts, indicating a broader pattern of criminal behavior while on active duty.
In federal court documents, the US Department of Justice revealed new information about Wagenius' alleged wider extortion and computer intrusion capers, and what could be some very ill-advised Google search terms.
Despite admitting his crimes in court, and a willingness to enter a guilty plea, "Wagenius should be detained as both a danger to the community - given his ability to access sensitive datasets - and a serious risk of flight," Uncle Sam's attorneys argued.
