Hacker GhostShell Doxes Himself So He Could Get a Job In the Industry
An anonymous reader writes: One of the most notorious hackers around has decided to dox himself after getting tired of hacking companies and failing to find a legitimate job in the infosec community. Razvan Eugen Gheorghe, 24, is one of the early LulzSec members and leader of Team GhostShell. He is now hoping to get arrested so that he could negotiate a plea deal and become a white hat hacker with a company or state agency somewhere. For the past 4 years, the hacker was literally 2km away from Romania's crime investigation unit, a 10-minute ride away.
In most big cities it's faster to walk 2km than drive, and Bucharest is particularly bad:

How can I believe you when you tell me what I don't want to hear?
Well, you have to walk across the parking lot to the car, use the non-through roads to get to the highway, navigate a mile or two of slow traffic, take the correct exit, and when you're parked, walk across the parking lot to the police station, unless it's drive-in. I'd say 10 minutes is an optimistic estimate. Don't forget that this is an American site: People need an estimate of the time it takes to drive 2km because they measure distances in multiples of body parts, and walking is something that you do to get to/from a car. You just made them wonder if you include changing into running clothes in the ten minutes or not. Running is something that is strictly done to get from point A to point A, which is the place where you park your SUV (the S in SUV stands for sport, so this is an adequate use of a truck).
