The criminal underworld has many legends, but few are more mysterious than the legendary netjockeys. In recent years, no netrunner gained more notoriety than Skylight – the rising star of the hacker underground.
Skylight is allegedly responsible for at least a dozen cyber-attacks on Net’s best secured servers, stealing data from such megacorps as Petrochem, Zetatech and Kiroshi. The latest attack on Biotechnica, resulting in theft and subsequent auctioning of the company’s sensitive data, is also attributed to Skylight.
Who is this rising star of cyber-crime? All we know is their alias – nobody knows their background, gender, of even whether it is a single person or some sort of netrunner collective. One thing’s certain, however – we will be hearing about their daring attacks and risky break-ins in the future.
How long can they keep this up, though? As the saying goes, “the light that burns twice as bright burns half as long.” And they have been burning so very, very brightly.
