Attila Nemeth, 26, from Hungary, has pleaded guilty to hacking and extortion charges. He placed backdoor malware on Marriott computers, exfiltrated sensitive documents. Instead of using the data to embarrass or ruin Marriott, he used it to try and land a job. Marriott worked with the U.S. Secret Service in a sting operation to catch Nemeth. “Thinking that a company would actually trust him after he breached their network seems not well-thought-out,” expert says.”]
