ALT In this joint presentation, Mandiant, the FBI, and the U.S. Attorney's Office will present a case study on their successful collaboration to bring cybercriminal Jesse Kipf, aka Ghostmarket09, to justice. Mandiant identified Kipf attempting to sell access to state death registration systems and delivered a victim notification to the impacted States and provided evidence to the FBI, which opened an investigation. The talk will discuss how Mandiant supported the FBI's investigation and assisted federal prosecutors. In October 2023, Kipf was indicted on charges of computer fraud, identity theft, and bank fraud. In April 2024, Kipf pled guilty to computer fraud and identity theft for breaching death registration systems in multiple states. Speakers will share insights from this collaboration, discussing how cybersecurity vendors, law enforcement, and prosecutors can work together to identify, investigate and prosecute threat actors.
On Tuesday, August 20th, 2024, the United States Department of Justice did a press release on the most intelligent person in world history.
Jesse Kipf, 29 of Somerset, Kentucky, USA, owed a total of $195,758.65 in child support. Jesse, being a true intellectual, decided to the best decision was to compromise the United States Hawaii Death Registry System, using stolen credentials from a physician in a different state outside of Hawaii, and insert himself into the Death Registry. Additionally, he used his own name, Jesse Kipf, to assert his own death and certified his own death using the name Jesse Kipf
tl;dr Jesse Kipf died, death was certified by the deceased Jesse Kipf and corpse of Jesse Kipf was verified by the deceased Jesse Kipf (recursive death certification and verification?)
The death certificate was signed by a different physicians stolen signature.
He was sentenced to 6 years and 7 months in prison for being a true intellectual.
