Atuche allegedly gave all members of his family and 15 of his friends permanent American citizenship.
No details yet as to how he pulled it off but insiders described his skills as unbelievable.
“The US government online network is impregnable but this guy proved it otherwise. If he was not arrested I don’t think there was ever going to be an investigation on how his family members got their citizenship,” a source was quoted as saying.
Atuche who is 29 years old started hacking when he was 24 years old.

Atuche who is 29 years old started hacking when he was 24 years old.
He allegedly entered the US using a fake American passport in 2013 and never left. By 2016, his big family and 15 of his Nigerian friends became permanent US citizens.

*Hmmmmm I am sure if he is jailed,they will employ his services from jail...America will never let someone like this go,he will end up working for them!
This one na real don
ReplyDeleteAahhh;This man deserves one plot of Land @Okokomaiko..
Delete😲😲😲😲
@MARTINS
Chai. Him don put all his family for trouble
DeleteWhen they think they are smarter than everyone else but in reality and in actual fact they are the dumbest and most stupid. Look around you, do you see what they can never comprehend?
DeleteThis one loud...
DeleteHe is really talented
This guy is a genius. He committed a crime but it doesn't change the fact that he's a genius. It takes someone with a high level of intelligence to do what he did. The US government might end up employing him. He'll be useful in the FBI.
DeleteHe could have used his hacking skills to get a genuine job in the US. Companies and even govt pay handsomely for hackers.
DeleteForget that he did it the wrong way o o which I do not support but mehhhhh, this guy get brain
DeleteThe story should be taken with a grain of salt for the following reasons:
DeleteThe process to grant US permanent residence and citizenship is deliberate and rigorous. The systems of internal control make it highly unlikely for hackers or insiders to fraudulently grant these immigration benefits without detection within days or weeks. In order to obtain permanent residence or citizenship, it involves on-site fingerprinting and photography, FBI criminal vetting, civic testing and interview as well as supervisory reviews of applicants' digital information and hard copies of documentation. Additionally, job roles and responsibilities are designed to prevent a single individual from having complete control over the entire application process, and computers are also set up to restrict access rights for users, accounts, and computing processes to authorized users who are allowed to only legitimately view, add or/and delete information as per their job requirements (this is called "least privileged" access control). Speaking from the vintage point of a credentialed professional with expertise in cybersecurity, fraud examination, IT management and internal control, it's not impossible to hack into any computer system. But it is difficult - if not impossible - for hackers or insiders to bypass the above mentioned controls in order to fraudulently grant immigration benefits and go undetected for days or even weeks.
Furthermore, no US media outlet of repute has reported the story. Even if they didn't, the sheer gravity of the information systems breach and the current US administration's stance towards legal and illegal immigration would have invited an avalanche of presidential tweets.
For the reasons set forth, it is my strong belief that the story is grossly misleading, moronically mendacious and egregiously fabricated.
Naija no dey carry last!
This should be a SIR statue from me I really love ,respect and enjoy your analysis .it takes some individuals to just read a story from hear and comment without deeply investigating or digesting it properly. All they wanna read is A Nigerian does that A Nigerian does that. So there wouldn't be a single intelligent individual who will know the consiquence of his action had it been true. So it will take 33 individuals to be dumb ass like him too. I doubt it a true story based on your analysis on the process on ground too.He can even enter the US with a doctored US int passport and not a fake one lol.
DeleteLong story cut short, you're a bit knowledgeable in information security but doesn't sound wise in your posit. Hope you weren't just trained by NIIT and you remained clouded by the outdated books and techniques you got trained with?
DeleteThings are happening and I only advise you do a documentary search on how identities could be duplicated.
I'm not an IT expert but I've seen things work. Many no longer need any school to know what they wanna know these days.
Please be civil in your contribution instead of resorting to ad hominem attacks! If must you know, I earned my one undergraduate and two graduate degrees from top universities in the UK and US, respectively. Based on your response, you seem to be someone with little or no education!
DeleteAnything is possible nowadays
DeleteJesu.
ReplyDeleteUnbelievable skills...wow
ReplyDeleteBaddest!
ReplyDeleteThis is what we call Hacking! Chai!
ReplyDeleteWow!! 👏👏 Bravo This guy is a genius..Instead of taking him to prison, He should be working with the CIA and M15..Wonderful...
ReplyDeleteIf you think ure good, they've got people twice smarter, thats why he was caught, by the help of the smarter ones, theyre deporting his ass. Sadly they'all back to square one.
Delete#Onewayticket
Genius shithead that will be prosecuted and will not be allowed entry into US soil with any member of his fraudulent family..
DeleteOlodo @10:12...can you not read?? He lives in the US and will of-course be jailed there but the rest of them will be deported America will NEVER deport him!..he will be used as an "Espionage"..his services will be used from jail.
DeleteWow, this is unbelievable.
ReplyDeleteWow wow wow wow wow wow 😮
ReplyDelete😲😲😲😲😲😲
ReplyDeleteWhat did I just read???
😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲
ReplyDeleteGet your facts before posting, this information is not on there site, fake news
ReplyDeleteYou think they will like to advertise such talent or show that a black Nigger beat them to their own game
DeleteOh shut up! This happened few years ago, it's not new so how do you intend to see it on their site with things that happened of recent? Even if it's a fake news, is that how to correct someone? Dumbo!
DeleteI like the way he likes his family. He just needs to be oriented to use his brain for something profitable.
I read this yesterday too that the news is fake on NL
Deletehahaha 'the US online network is impregnable' this guy here is the real MVP. This goes to show that Nigerians and even Africans have what it takes. Yeah Stella you're right they will retain him and he might end up becoming useful to them unlike Nigerian government that will not know what to do with him..not justifying his wrong doing though
ReplyDeleteThe story is not true. Hackers or employees can't view, add and/or delete computer records without detection. It's a multifaceted process to obtain US residence and citizenship. Because there is segregation of duties involved in the application process, and there are checks and balances in the manual processing and computing processes that make collusion among individuals and circumvention of computer access control impossible. The purported breach of US government computers is simply false. Please read my post of 12 December 2019 at 22.51 for more information about the application process.
DeleteHe gave his friends too oooo
ReplyDeleteWhere are my friends sef hehehehehehe
Man of the year
ReplyDeleteThis guy is an asset. By the way, can't they revoke the citizenship, I asked cos of the word 'permanent' as used by Stellain the post, kindly enlighten me on this.
ReplyDeleteThe guy is made abeg. I love how Americans will end using his skills to improve their systems, though he may serve some time in jail.
ReplyDeleteThey guy loves his family and friends sha. Pity it was via the wrong means
Oh my! This is unbelievable.
ReplyDeleteI respect this guy for one thing;He pulled this unimaginable feat for the love of his family and of course friends. He could have used his hacking dexterity to defraud for money but he never did,rather he used it to give them permanent citizenship. Though some might still consider this fraud but I doubt if the US will see it this way because he is not going to be jailed. The US that I know will tap from this raw skills and would probably work for them.
ReplyDeleteThis comment right here is why nigeria will never prosper. Such a person will never ever ever ever work for the IS govt. EVER. He will be deported straight. If it was your bank that he hacked and stole all your money would you have the same comment?
DeleteAlso note that this is fake news
see my brother from another mother
ReplyDeleteThis is a MAN.
ReplyDeleteChai😨😨😨Nigerians keep representing everywhere. Oshhee baddest
ReplyDeleteWow! Like seriously?
ReplyDeleteThis man deserves an award!
ReplyDeleteI find this very difficult to believe. We are talking about the US of A. Will be almost impossible for such to go undetected over years. And if true, he will go to jail. Ain't no CIA employing him, forget what you see in movies. Even a juvenile record can stain your chances of employment for life. Pls Let's not glamourize crime. It reflects badly on us. And it affects us all. Negatively.
ReplyDeleteMy dear hire fire. Who will hire someone with criminal tendencies that will now have access to sensitive data and information?? They won't!!! Even his family and friends citizenship will be revoked.
DeleteHian! See as he open their ynash😂😂Special bungalow in jail or one island where no one will look for him
ReplyDeleteThis is better than the yahoo boy.
ReplyDeleteHes thinking sustainability into the future.
#Healthycrime
