Seorang mantan insinyur Ubiquiti, Nickolas Sharp, dijatuhi hukuman enam tahun penjara kemarin setelah mengaku bersalah di pengadilan New York karena mencuri puluhan gigabyte data rahasia, menuntut uang tebusan $1,9 juta dari mantan majikannya, dan kemudian mempublikasikan data tersebut ke publik. ketika tuntutannya ditolak.

Sharp tidak meminta hukuman penjara, memberi tahu Hakim Distrik Amerika Serikat Katherine Polk Failla bahwa serangan dunia maya itu sebenarnya adalah “latihan keamanan tanpa izin” yang menjadikan Ubiquiti “tempat yang lebih aman untuk dirinya sendiri dan untuk kliennya,” lapor Bloomberg. Dalam dokumen pengadilan, Sharp mengklaim bahwa CEO Ubiquiti Robert Pera telah mencegah Sharp untuk “menyelesaikan masalah keamanan yang luar biasa”, dan Sharp mengatakan kepada hakim bahwa hal ini menyebabkan “hiperfiksasi bodoh” dalam memperbaiki kelemahan keamanan tersebut.

Ubiquiti memilih untuk tidak membayar uang tebusan dan malah melibatkan FBI. Segera setelah itu, kesalahan Sharp yang menunjukkan IP rumahnya membuat FBI melacaknya. Di tempat kerja, Sharp menyarankan IP rumahnya dicatat dalam upaya untuk menjebaknya, memberi tahu rekan kerja, “Saya akan sangat tidak kompeten jika saya meninggalkan IP saya di hal yang saya minta, unduh, dan unggah” dan mengatakan bahwa akan menjadi “penyamaran paling buruk yang pernah ada lol.”

Sementara FBI menganalisis semua perangkat kerja Sharp, Sharp menghapus dan menyetel ulang laptop yang dia gunakan dalam serangan itu, tetapi dengan berani meninggalkan laptop itu di rumah, di mana laptop itu disita selama penggeledahan FBI pada Maret 2021.

Setelah pencarian FBI, Sharp mulai menyamar sebagai pembocor rahasia, menghubungi jurnalis dan regulator untuk memberikan peringatan palsu bahwa pengungkapan publik dan tanggapan Ubiquiti terhadap serangan siber tidak memadai.
