The Case Of Infosec Crusader Justin Shafer
Unfortunately, it appears that some entities he embarrassed by revealing their security failures tried to deflect blame by accusing him of hacking them. And it appears that the FBI agent involved may have believed them. Beginning in March, 2013, according to Shafer, Special Agent Nathan Hopp treated him like a black hat or grey hat, when all he had done was find exposed data and try to report it so patients would be notified. Entities may not like to be publicly embarrassed, but there is nothing illegal in Shafer conduct of going to the media to call attention to data leaks that he uncovers, and forwarding details to the authorities.
Over the next four years, Shafer would feel repeatedly harassed by the Dallas FBI and Special Agent Nathan Hopp. And who wouldn’t feel harassed when he was repeatedly raided and there were never any criminal charges because he had never done anything illegal? The only criminal charge they ever levied was harassment after he lost his temper with Agent Hopp after years of perceived FBI harassment.
Instead of a grand jury investigating Shafer, someone should investigate why the Dallas FBI covered up or suppressed evidence that Shafer was a white hat who was trying to help them, because they certainly didn’t tell the federal court about all the help he had offered, and I doubt they ever told the grand jury about Shafer’s attempts to help, either. The is a lot of evidence that the federal court was not shown.
On March 31, 2017, in the criminal complaint alleging stalking and intent to harass or intimidate an FBI special agent and his family, Special Agent Ronnie Buentello left out important context and history for assessing Shafer’s conduct and intent, but he also indicated (Paragraphs 10 and 11 of the affidavit) that Shafer was also being investigated as a co-conspirator of the blackhats known as The Dark Overlord. Perhaps someone thought that making Shafer out to be some criminal hacker would boost their careers, but the Dallas FBI had evidence to show that Shafer was actually trying to help the FBI catch The Dark Overlord.

Public Information From the DHS/FBI Hack
The information had been leaked by a hacking group called Crackas With Attitude, both dumps were accompanied by pro-Palestine slogans. The databases of supposed government workers were on a DoJ intranet, the hacker claimed. The hacker also said that he downloaded around 200GB of files, out of 1TB that he had access to.
