astr0 is a former member of the hacking group NC0G. Rumors allege that astr0 was a young, prodigious teenager when he joined the group in 2006. In 2008, astr0 allegedly left Anonymous because he believed the group was too public and lenient. Sometime in 2009, he founded the hacking group V14_R0MA, where he was known as 4u6u_57u5. The group avoided detection for a period of two years, during which they funneled a total of $10.5 million USD from major US corporations by exploiting vulnerabilities in the software of several major banks. The stolen money was allegedly spread across various charities in small amounts using a number of false identities. After its discovery, V14_R0M4 allegedly disbanded. |
