Dad hacks database to fake his ****** and avoid child support

A man has been sentenced to more than six years in prison after hacking into a state database to fake his ******, and get out of paying child support.

Jesse Kipf from Kentucky, in the US, was sentenced to 81 months for computer ****** and aggravated identity theft.

The 39-year-old admitted to accessing the Hawaii ****** Registry System in January last year and creating a “case” for his own ******.

Kipf then completed a State of Hawaii ****** Certificate Worksheet, assigned himself as the medical certifier for the case and certified his ******, using the digital signature of the doctor.

It meant he was successfully registered as a deceased person in many government databases.

Kipf admitted that he did it avoid his outstanding child support obligations of more than $100,000.

The hacker also accessed other ****** registry systems and companies in unrelated attacks that he carried out using the stolen log in details of real physicians and workers.

He was found to be offering to sell access to the systems and selling stolen databases containing private information like Social Security Numbers to other cyber ********** on the darknet.

He sold to international buyers, including individuals from Algeria, Russia and Ukraine, the court was reportedly told.

“This scheme was a cynical and destructive effort, based in part on the inexcusable goal of avoiding his child support obligations,” said Carlton S. Shier, IV, ******* States Attorney for the Eastern District of Kentucky.

Under federal law, Kipf must serve 85 percent of his prison sentence and will be under the supervision of the U.S. Probation Office for three years.

The damage to governmental and corporate computer systems and his ******** to pay his child support obligations amounted to a total of $195,758.65.
