A_ustin allegedly broke into several named servers, including “Odin1,” “Zeus1,” and “Pub3,” as well as Linux Kernel Organization founder Peter Anvin’s private email server, and installed the “Phalanx” rootkit—a backdoor that would allow him to connect to the infected computer and install additional software on the target—and the “Ebury” trojan, which harvested credentials of those logging into the infected computer. He also allegedly used his unauthorized administrative privileges to insert messages that would display when the servers restarted._

Austin was released from jail on payment of $50,000 in bail money, and will have to appear in court in San Francisco at 0930 on September 21 before the Honorable Sallie Kim. If found guilty, he faces a possible sentence of 40 years in prison and $2m in fines.
