A Romanian hacker who accessed the private email accounts of numerous top government & militaryofficials has predicted that a nuclear attack will hit Chicago in 2015. Guccifer, notorious for hacking the email accounts of the Bush family and the Rockefellers, is currently serving a seven-year prison sentence. He eluded the FBI and Secret Service for years, but they were finally able to catch up with him.
“I was expecting them, but the shock was still very big for me,” he said in his first interview since being hauled away. “It is hard to be a hacker, but even harder to erase your tracks. I knew they were coming for me,” he recalled. “My sixth sense told me I was surrounded. I was losing control of the situation.”
Incredibly, Guccifer, who’s real name is Marcel-Lehel Lazar, was able to access private self-portraits painted by George W. Bush and sensitive military information with only nominal computer skills. The 43-year-old former taxi driver had no special training or equipment. He hacked personal email accounts by simply guessing passwords.

“He was not really a hacker but just a smart guy who was very patient and persistent,” said Viorel Badea, the Romanian prosecutor who put Lazar away. “He is just a poor Romanian guy who wanted to be famous,” explained the prosecutor, who leads a cybercrime team in Romania’s organized crime unit.
