a Title 18 U.S.C. Section 521(a)(A) defines criminal street gangs as ongoing groups, clubs, organizations, or associations of five or more individuals that have as one of their primary purposes the commission of one or more criminal offenses. Title 18 U.S.C. Section 521(c) further defines such criminal offenses as (1) a federal felony involving a controlled substance; (2) a federal felony crime of violence that has as an element the use or attempted use of physical force against the person of another and (3) a conspiracy to commit an offense described in paragraph (1) or (2).


In August 2018, when police in Miami searched the home of Geno St. Flerose, a teenager they said was a member of the Everybody Eats street gang, they discovered incriminating evidence that had little to do with the drugs and guns they more typically find.

Hackers have shown how to turn mobile payment service Square into a convenient tool for criminals to pump cash from stolen credit card numbers. googletag.cmd.push(function() googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1449240174198-2'); ); Adam Laurie and Zac Franken of computer security firm Aperture Labs used a homemade software program and an easily bought iPad audio wire to trick Square in a way that could be a bonanza for crooks.Laurie could type credit card numbers into his laptop, which converts to sound data sent to Square, where the transaction registers as if a real card were swiped in a dongle."Traditionally, the way you make money from stolen credit cards is sell the data to someone else or buy goods on it, then resell the goods and get the cash," Laurie said while demonstrating the hack at a Black Hat computer security gathering in Las Vegas."This really takes the hassle out of it... I can put the money right in the account and it only costs me 2.75 percent."The percentage he cited was the fee charged by Square, which was co-founded by Jack Dorsey, a Silicon Valley star who helped create popular micro-blogging service Twitter.Square markets a pocket-sized credit card reader that can be plugged into a smartphone to allow anyone to accept credit or debit card payments on the spot.Franken and Laurie, whose hacker name is "Major Malfunction," said that they were waiting for a flight at an airport when then figured out how to convert Square into a handy tool for cashing in on stolen credit cards.Laurie realized that the Square "dongle" used to swipe credit cards plugged into an iPad audio jack, indicating that the small device essentially converted magnetic stripe data to sound then interpreted by the service's software.He quickly modified software he wrote five years earlier for reading and replicating magnetic stripe data.Franken and Laurie strolled to an airport shop and bought a wire to plug his laptop into the iPad jack where the dongle would have gone."Credit card data is getting skimmed all the time," Laurie said, holding up a pre-paid credit card he used for the demonstration. "Instead of buying this I could have bought it on the Internet from a criminal gang."Funds are dumped into an individual's Square account to be removed before anyone catches on, according to the hackers."You'd have to set up dodgy accounts that don't trace back to you," Laurie said. "But, that is standard practice."Laurie and Franken said that they shared their findings with Square in February only to be told that it wasn't seen as a threat and that traffic analysis would expose those kinds of transactions.The hackers had also heard unconfirmed reports that Square planned to release new dongles that encrypt transaction data."Encryption would be a good thing," Franken said. "The way it is at the moment a cable between two devices and you can inject credit card numbers right into the system," he continued.Since Square promises to have money from transactions in accounts within a day, money milked from stolen credit card data could be made off with quickly provided amounts were extreme enough to be noticed, Franken said.

T-Mobile, one of the biggest telecommunications companies in the US, was hacked nearly two weeks ago, exposing the sensitive information of more than 50 million current, former and prospective customers.


He told Bleeping Computer that he gained access to T-Mobile's systems through "production, staging, and development servers two weeks ago." He hacked into an Oracle database server that had customer data inside.


T-Mobile CEO Mike Sievert explained that the hacker behind the attack "leveraged their knowledge of technical systems, along with specialized tools and capabilities, to gain access to our testing environments and then used brute force attacks and other methods to make their way into other IT servers that included customer data."


T-Mobile told ZDNet on August 16 that it was investigating the initial claims that customer data was being sold on the dark web and eventually released a lengthy statement explaining that while the hack did not involve all 100 million of their customers, at least half had their information involved in the hack.


The investigation into the January incident found that hackers accessed around 200,000 customer details such as phone numbers, the number of lines subscribed to an account, and, in some cases, call-related information, which T-Mobile said it collected as part of the normal operation of its wireless service.


The previous breaches included a March 2020 incident where T-Mobile said hackers gained access to both its employees' and customers' data, including employee email accounts, a November 2019 incident where T-Mobile said it "discovered and shut down" unauthorized access to the personal data of its customers, and an August 2018 incident where T-Mobile said hackers gained access to the personal details of 2 million of its customers.


Blood In Blood Out (also known as Bound by Honor and Blood In Blood Out: Bound By Honor) is a 1993 American epic crime drama film directed by Taylor Hackford that has become a cult-classic film with a cult following among the Mexican-American community, over the decades.[3][4] It follows the intertwining lives of three Chicano relatives from 1972 to 1984. They start out as members of a street gang in East Los Angeles, and as dramatic incidents occur, their lives and friendships are forever changed. Blood In Blood Out was filmed in 1991 throughout the Spanish-speaking areas of Los Angeles and inside California's San Quentin State Prison.


18th Street gangsters have been linked to homicide, extortion, alien smuggling, drug smuggling, auto theft, and running massive document mills in New York City. These "mills" paper the streets with fraudulent government identification allowing anyone to gain fresh lines of credit, government benefits, and driver licenses.


The gang's level of sophistication became apparent in October 2012, when federal authorities labeled MS-13 a "transnational criminal organization." MS-13 was the first-ever street gang to get this designation, which barred banks from dealing with its members, the Los Angeles Times reported.


Formed in New York's prison system in the 1980s, the ultra-violent Trinitarios quickly spread to the city's streets as inmates did their time and brought home new and deadly skills. Its influence is now felt in all five boroughs of New York City and in at least 10 states.


Another prison gang, Pistoleros Latinos, was born in and now dominates Texas' correctional facilities. Outside prison, the Hispanic group owns the streets of Laredo, in the state's south, and has strong ties to Mexican drug-runners across the border.


Most Latino gangsters incarcerated in southern California throw aside old rivalries behind bars and unite under the Mexican Mafia. On the streets, the gang's influence stretches far and wide. They are perhaps inspired by a complex manifesto locked-up gang leader Arturo Castellanos delivered to his gang in Los Angeles.


The nation was braced for chaos. Liberal groups had vowed to take to the streets, planning hundreds of protests across the country. Right-wing militias were girding for battle. In a poll before Election Day, 75% of Americans voiced concern about violence. 2ff7e9595c
