But Windows put a <strong>permanent number on your machine</strong>, it never turns off, and that number is where the police start when they want your name. That is exactly <strong>how the FBI</strong> just caught a 19-year-old hacker who thought he had <strong>covered every track</strong>.</p> <p>On July 1, US prosecutors in Chicago made their case public against a 19-year-old named <strong>Peter Stokes</strong>, who holds both a US and an Estonian passport. They say he runs with <strong>Scattered Spider</strong>, one of the biggest crews in cybercrime, the kind that breaks into companies and then demands money to leave them alone. He has not been found guilty of anything, and under the law he stays <strong>innocent until a court says otherwise</strong>.</p>
