The former leader of an anarchistic hacking group called the Electronik 
Tribulation Army was sentenced Thursday to 9 years and 2 months in 
prison for installing malware on computers at a Texas hospital.

Jesse William McGraw, aka “GhostExodus,” was also ordered to pay $31,881 
in restitution and serve three years of supervised release following his 
prison term.

McGraw, 26, of Arlington, Texas, came to FBI’s attention in 2009 after 
he shot a YouTube video of himself staging an “infiltration” mission at 
an office building, in which he’s seen dramatically skulking through the 
halls and installing RxBot on a desktop computer. According to the 
government, the Electronik Tribulation Army was building a modest botnet 
to attack rival hacker gangs, including Anonymous — which at the time 
was known more for ambitious pranks than for the hacktivism that has 
since made it famous.

In another video McGraw displayed his personal collection of 
infiltration gear, including lock picks, a cellphone jammer and fake FBI 
credentials. Both videos turned out to be shot at the Northern Central 
Medical Plaza in Dallas, where McGraw worked as a night security guard 
and had free run of the building.
