Former Pentagon official, George Little, whose children were threatened by Kaydar; CP & Threat's to parents that their children would become 'Pizza' seems to be a frequent service offered.
Kaydar had a laundry list of “services” which he offered and the prices for each type of exploit. A threatening call to a private home would set a buyer back $40. A call threatening a massacre at a school cost $80. A letter threat against a school called for a discount and cost only $30. A call to threaten to bomb an airliner cost $500. He informed potential clients that they could devise their own threats and he would execute them for a special price. If one of his threats didn’t lead to the evacuation of the targeted institution and summoning of police, he would return the fee to the client, considering it a failed operation. Buyers paid in bitcoin because it was untraceable. By the time of his arrest, he’d amassed a hefty fortune of $500,000.
Hand it to Kaydar, he mass-produced cyber-mayhem. And all by himself. Quite the entrepreneurial spirit of the Israeli Start-Up Nation!
Lest you think Kaydar is a lone wolf cyber terrorist, think again. There is a thriving network of hackers plying their wares on the dark web. Including many in Israel as well.
The IDF boasts of the cyber skills of its largest single military grouping, Unit 8200. It also runs a network of technical high schools from which it recruits to fill its ranks. Many of its veterans go on to lucrative careers founding high-tech startups in the Big Data/cyber-security field. But inevitably, there are aberrant souls who learn the skills but don’t make the grade. They’re shunted to the side. Some of them take those skills to the dark side as Kaydar did.
There is a thriving network of Israeli hackers-for-hire who engage in such anti-social cyber-sabotage. A company called vDOS, consisted of two Israeli hackers who would organize DDOS attacks on commercial websites for a fee. Their clients were competitors or angry customers who sought revenge. vDOS, like Kaydar, had a price list offering different levels of attack against its victims. It earned over $600,000 over a two-year period.
Kaydar went wrong only in the scale of his ambition. The grander the ambition the more likely you will be caught. He targeted Americans because that was where the money was. But he didn’t bargain for the fact that he would make a mistake, make a single phone call without using a proxy server, and so reveal his physical location and be caught by the FBI. Plus, the close Israel- U.S. relationship meant the U.S. could exert pressure on Israeli authorities to end his rampage and bring him to justice.
