In February 2012, Ochoa hacked protected computers including those of the Texas Department of Public Safety, Alabama Department of Public Safety, West Virginia Chiefs of Police Association and Houston County, Alabama. After accessing the systems, Ochoa downloaded and shared confidential and personal information from the systems, erased data, and vandalized websites. At the time, Ochoa was associated with CabinCr3w, a hacker group that had grown out of Anonymous. Ochoa was arrested by the FBI specifically in relation to his access of Alabama Department of Public Safety computers, which had for some reason been connected with an FBI criminal database. Ochoa replaced the FBI database with his self-proclaimed trademark, a photo of a woman in a bikini, holding a sign reading "PwNd by w0rmer & CabinCr3w, <3 u BiTch's!" The woman in the photo had taken the picture with an iPhone that had location services enabled. Through this, the FBI traced the photo back to her exact coordinates, discovered her identity, and found her Facebook page, which revealed Ochoa as her fiancé. The FBI arrested Ochoa on March 20, 2012, in Galveston, Texas. On June 25, 2012, Ochoa was charged by the FBI with hacking into law enforcement systems and publishing personal information of officers, including phone numbers and home addresses, in what he and CabinCr3w called "Operation Pig Roast". Ochoa was sentenced to two years in prison and ordered to pay approximately  restitution for unauthorized access to the agencies' computers. During his parole, Ochoa was legally banned from using the Internet or any computer or device connected to the Internet. Media
