Hackers made death threats against this security researcher. Big mistake.

Security researcher Allison Nixon, known for tracking cybercriminals, became the target of death threats from hackers associated with the Com, a group involved in cybercrime and offline violence. Nixon's work led to the arrest of numerous Com members, prompting retaliation. The threats escalated after a major hack involving AT&T customer call records, leading to Nixon's involvement in identifying the suspect, Connor Riley Moucka. With meticulous investigative work, Nixon and her team unmasked Moucka, who faces charges related to extortion and computer fraud. Despite ongoing threats, Nixon remains dedicated to dismantling the group.
