from Cybermidnight Club– Hackers, Cyber Security and Cyber Crime · host Alberto Daniel Hill
“In 2014, Alberto Daniel Hill, an expert in cybersecurity, found a security issue in a medical provider’s website. In reporting the issue, it led him to become the first person imprisoned in Uruguay for a computer-related crime—a crime he didn’t commit, and one that probably never even happened. Alberto, a hacker, was the perfect target for a judicial system that doesn’t understand cybersecurity or cybercrimes. Through police misconduct and incompetence, his life was thrown into upheaval, and he is still recovering from a system where there are no guarantees of a fair trial. Rife with injustice and anguish, Alberto’s story doesn’t have a fairy tale ending. It is a lesson for Uruguay and the world to implement fair processes for prosecuting cybercrimes. Alberto’s tale will stand as a stark reminder of the dangers of a judiciary system that hasn’t caught up to the technology of the 21st century.“ Stephanie Holland, Editor https://darkdeepweb.com/ History featured in the podcast Darknet Diaries: https://darknetdiaries.com/episode/25/ The book about the story: http://amazon.albertohill.com https://darkweb.today/ https://darkdeepweb.com/ https://twitter.com/DarkwebToday https://twitter.com/ADanielHill
