Hacker and Entrepreneur! how will he turn out 5 years from now? and carousell is becoming our own localized NC(16) version of the silk road.

an NTU student at the time, hacked four Kopitiam cards more than 130 times, and used the ill-gotten credit to top-up more than 180 Singtel pre-paid SIM cards in exchange for cash

He began his hacking spree in 2015, while pursuing a computer engineering degree at NTU.

While staying at the hostel, he researched how to hack stored value cards for free air-conditioning.

Around August that year, he realised he could also modify Kopitiam cards to get food and cigarettes for free.

He would change the last four digits of the hacked cards to avoid detection.

He soon discovered he could use the hacked cards to top-up Singtel pre-paid SIM cards.

Tee saw this as a business opportunity and began offering discounted top-ups through online marketplace Carousell.

As an example, he would charge others $8 to top-up $10 in their Singtel cards.

He received about $34,000 from Carousell users this way.

Cool, another option for him when he gets out.

I wonder if it's like the Hollywood movies where people like him get recruited by gov agencies in exchange for reduced jail time.

Well if we're screwing someone else's spouse, the reverse should hold true then. Must be karma police working the balance.

You are an imposter to start with

You are both beautiful.

Black hat obviously.....crime does pay if u watch narcos and narcos Mexico,

Also he should not have spoken to the cops without a lawyer,if u watched better call Saul,seems like he spilled alot of the beans....

Also he's not very good at covering his tracks.

I don't think it's possible to hide if he was accessing the net locally. I'm sure all traffic originating in Singapore can be traced.

Orly?
I'm not a hacker but even I can think of a few solutions......sit at one of those Starbucks or 24/7 McDonald's....use a disposable throwaway 2nd hand laptop that can be doused in kerosene and set on fire in case they trace ur hardware.....tor,darknet....use bitcoin for payment or PayPal not something they can goddam trace with.

Obviously he knew how to hack but not how to stay invisible.
