Purbeck's crimes reflect the efforts of a callous and brazen cybercriminal who not only hacked into numerous computer servers and stole sensitive personal information from both private and public actors, but also threatened to extort many of his victims and disclose their data.
Thanks to the tireless work of law enforcement, Purbeck's time of hiding behind a computer to steal, threaten, and intimidate is over.
The man who adopted the 'LifeLock' moniker, and at other times the super cool 'Studmaster' pseudonym, was known for his aggressive extortion tactics that in one case ran a medical business into the ground.
In the same month Purbeck bought access to the servers of a medical clinic in Griffin, Georgia, from which he stole sensitive personal information belonging to more than 43,000 people, he also targeted a California dentist referred to only as 'AY' in court.
