Script kiddie Orbit by NullCrew

Timothy Justen French, a member of the notorious hacking group NullCrew, has pleaded guilty to one count of destroying a protected computer without permission, which carries a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. Nullcrew hackers

Justen French is a 21-year-old from Morristown, Tennessee, who was arrested by the FBI on June 11, 2014, at his family's home. Authorities accused him of participating in cyberattacks against Bell Canada, Comcast, and the United Kingdom Department of Defense as a member of the hacking group NullCrew.

French was also known online as “Orbit,” “Orbit_g1rl,” “c0rps3.”, “rootcrysis,” and “crysis.”.

Six days after French's arrest, the remaining members of NullCrew posted a text on Pastebin. NullCrew calls French a "script kiddie," because he ignored advice from former members to delete an IDS he had been using before joining the hacking group.

Apparently, French did not delete the usernames he used previously, and continued to use Skype for hacking-related conversations!

And as if that weren't enough, he wasn't using a VPN connection to hide his real IP. According to statements the FBI made after his arrest, investigators were able to track him down from the IP address they used to steal data from Bell Canada.

According to the authorities, the attack was carried out from the connection he had at home!

Our question is why did the older members of the team accept “hackers” like Orbit?
