    Summary
    This episode explores the true cybercrime story of Michael Calce, also known as Mafia Boy, who was responsible for taking down major websites like Yahoo, E-Trade, eBay, and more during the dot com bubble. Michael's journey into hacking began when he received his first computer at the age of six and became fascinated with the idea of controlling and commanding it. He joined an elite Russian hacker group called TNT and used their resources to carry out his attacks. Despite covering his tracks, Michael was eventually caught due to his bragging in IRC chat rooms. He was sentenced to probation and has since become an ethical hacker, raising awareness about cybersecurity.
