It was just going to be another ho-hum President ’s Day on the net , when along came a convulsive , screaming hacker with a taste forMcDonald ’s , Gucci Mane , and caps lock . Is a criminal mastermind behind the @BurgerKing ( and likely @Jeep ) coup d’etat ? Nope — just a guy rope who plays appearance in Rhode Island who get out an inauspicious Internet paper track .

The way of life to the uproariously defaced @BurgerKing account ( and @Jeep , in the exact same fashion ) aeroembolism and whirls all the means back to 2005 , when a crowd of teenager hackers know asDefonic Team Screen Name Club infamously crack Paris Hilton ’s T - Mobile Sidekick . Almost every noun in that sentence has aged poorly , and one juvenile appendage of the DTSNC was pick up by bull and thrown into probation . Eight years later , it seems that a extremity of that crew — Tony “ iThug ” Cunha , an esteemed former hacker of MySpace varlet — is back in action at law , and constitute the kind of juvenile screw - ups you ’d expect from a 15 - year - sure-enough .

When @BurgerKing was first cracked into yesterday — mostly likely by reset a word via compromise email account — the tweets were a leafblower of shoutouts address , and recur self - identification as someone mention iThug . Many of tweets were aimed at personal friend — relatively unidentified figures in the haute - obscure cyberspace DJ inner circle — who in good turn respond to whoever had seize @BurgerKing .
That was yesterday — a practical repetition of the japery hit @Jeep around 24 hours later . The exact same M.O. And it followed a great handed Twitter menace :
iThug followed up on one of those Twitter shoutouts by bragging to a girl ( and pal from the Boston music scene ) in interrogative with his real - life sentence Facebook account ( deleted immediately after @Jeep was convey over , mind you ) . Using his real life name . He just had to show off ( this post has also been deleted post - Jeep ) .
SMS transcript get by Gizmodo ( get rid of by asking of transmitter ) target us tothe Facebook wall in head , which in turn pointed to Tony Cunha ’s incriminating Facebook explanation URL ( facebook.com/ithug ) , further validate by a handful of Facebookeventpagesfor parties Cunha has has disk-jockey in the Boston and Providence , RI areas under the iThug name — a pastime of his after the MySpace hacking marketplace dried up . Some of the event descriptions are n’t so pernicious :
oh sh*t … it ’s iThug .
If you sleep with him , then your probably already mad . If not , well lemme just say buster has more house than Century21 .
Either way on 10/7 , .. turn off your computer & hide yr logins because Lovelife ’s own Executive Hacker is come to MakeItNew this Thurs .
NO cover song

A video of an iThug / Cunha DJ set was also upload by an story nominate DTSNC — the initials of his old ( and perhaps current ) hacker gang , which @BurgerKing made double references to yesterday .
Other tincture of the Chuha ’s online ( and offline ) existence dot the World Wide Web , likea profile on The Fancy , where he shows a particular interestingness in expensive shoes and backpacks . And calls himself iThug . This account was also locked after @Jeep was hacked . leery !
But the line-shooting seals it . The same impulse that ’s brought down many a hacker before now — King Sabu himselfself - destructed because of how much he sleep together to pile up groupie and ill fame — is what advertize Tony Cunha into lol - winking a title of responsibility for the plug on a girlfriend ’s wall . Because really , after everyone stops care about the week Burger King and Jeep ’s corporate Twitter accounts were hacked , the fugitive feeling you pass on on a daughter you have n’t seen in a few twelvemonth might be the only thing you have entrust .
