Defendant is already serving time for possession of abuse material.
A former administrator of the cybercrime community Breachforums will pay around $700,000 to settle a civil lawsuit.
According to Krebs on Security, Conor Brian Fitzpatrick, a.k.a. “Pompompurin,” is slated for resentencing next month after tens of thousands of records - including Social Security numbers, dates of birth, addresses, and phone numbers - were posted for sale.
Class-action attorneys sued Nonstop Health, which added Fitzpatrick as a third-party defendant to the civil litigation in November 2023, several months after he was
arrested by the FBI and criminally charged with access device fraud and child sexual abuse material (CSAM) possession.
