Nicholas Moore pleaded guilty in a federal cybercrime case after hacking the U.S. Supreme Court's electronic filing system and breaching accounts at AmeriCorps and the Department of Veterans Affairs. Prosecutors said the intrusions relied on stolen credentials and included repeated access to the Supreme Court system between August and October 2023. The plea matters because it confirms criminal liability in a case that touched multiple U.S. federal agencies and exposed sensitive personal and health information.
