Il a hacké Microsoft et a été emprisonné aux États-Unis
Sébastien Raoult, a computer enthusiast since adolescence, delved into the world of hacking, initially driven by curiosity to test website vulnerabilities. This led him to cybercrime, including hacking Microsoft's networks, which resulted in an FBI arrest warrant and an international arrest warrant issued by Washington. At just 20, Sébastien was arrested in Morocco and extradited to the United States, facing a potential sentence of up to 116 years in prison.
Sébastien recounts his arrest on May 31, 2022, at a Moroccan airport while attempting to return to France via Belgium. Initially, customs officers questioned him about his visa, which he didn't believe he needed as a tourist. He was then escorted to an office where he was pushed onto a chair and tied down. He described his confusion and panic as multiple officers and officials entered the small room, speaking various languages. It was then that he started to suspect his activities on the internet were the cause, as he had dabbled in cybersecurity and sometimes crossed lines unknowingly. He was later informed of an international arrest warrant from Washington.
