DETROIT (Reuters) -Federal authorities on Monday unsealed an indictment accusing a U.S. Army soldier of selling and attempting to sell stolen confidential phone records.
Cameron John Wagenius was arrested Dec. 20 and charged in the courthouse for the Western District of Texas in Waco with two counts of unlawful transfer of confidential phone records information, according to court records, which did not specify his rank or where he was stationed.
"We are aware of the arrest of a Fort Cavazos soldier," Col. Kamil Sztalkoper, spokesperson for the III Armored Corps, told Reuters in an email. "III Armored Corps will continue to cooperate with all law enforcement agencies as appropriate." Fort Cavasos, formerly Fort Hood, is in Texas. Sztalkoper referred further questions to the Department of the Army Criminal Investigation Division, which said it could not immediately provide details.
The court records did not give specifics about the allegations but cybersecurity journalist Brian Krebs said on his website that Wagenius went by the name “Kiberphant0m” online and shared claims of multiple hacks, including call records allegedly related to Vice President Kamala Harris and President-elect Donald Trump. Krebs said Wagenius was 20 years old, but court records or the Army did not confirm this.
