Back in August of this year, it was revealed that a hacker going by the screenname USDoD was behind a massive data breach at the public records data provider, National Public Data. That data breach exposed the personal info of over 2.9 billion people including Social Security numbers (SSNs), addresses and full names going back over 30 years.
Today, Brazil's Policia Federal (PF) announced that they have arrested USDoD in Belo Horizonte/MG, Brazil. The arrest was part of an effort by the PF to investigate data breaches within Brazil and internationally.
