US authorities have charged former product manager Danielle Hillmer with multiple federal crimes for allegedly lying to government customers about whether her company’s cloud platform met required security standards.
According to an indictment, Hillmer, 53, is accused of concealing the platform’s noncompliance with security controls, misleading US federal agencies and other government clients. Prosecutors allege she repeatedly misrepresented that the platform complied with the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) High baseline and the Department of Defense’s Impact Levels 4 and 5, despite knowing it lacked required access controls, logging, monitoring, and other safeguards.

🧑✈️📶 Phisher gets 7 years in prison for running “evil twin” airport WiFi network
An Australian man has been sentenced to seven years and four months in prison for orchestrating a sophisticated “evil twin” WiFi scheme that targeted travelers during domestic flights and at major airports across the country. The 44-year-old was arrested in July 2024 after authorities discovered he had been operating rogue wireless networks in Perth, Melbourne, and Adelaide.
The man used a portable “WiFi Pineapple” device to create fake access points that mimicked legitimate airport networks. Unsuspecting travelers who connected were redirected to phishing pages designed to steal their social media login details. According to the Australian Federal Police (AFP), he then accessed women’s accounts to monitor messages and steal private photos and videos. Forensic analysis uncovered thousands of intimate files and records of fraudulent WiFi pages on his devices.
