Albert Gonzalez: Hacker and Founder of International Carder Forum

Albert Gonzalez, an American hacker and the founder of the international carder forum ShadowCrew, was sentenced to 20 years in prison for stealing over 170 million credit cards.

Born to Cuban immigrants in Miami, Albert Gonzalez developed a passion for computers at a young age, realizing that high technology could bring him substantial profits. However, his criminal inclinations became evident during his school years, where he was known as the leader of local computer enthusiasts.

At the age of 17, Gonzalez came under the radar of the FBI when he and two school friends hacked into government servers in India and left unfavorable comments about Indian culture.

Although he received a warning and was banned from using computers for six months, it was clear that Gonzalez's criminal activities were just beginning.
