Wagenius was an active-duty US soldier stationed at bases in South Korea and Texas. In 2024, he helped hack telecom companies and obtained call record data on Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, which he posted in November under the “kiberphant0m” name.

Sounds like Warthunder with extra steps.

But Wagenius, who is now 21, wasn’t nearly as sneaky as he seemed to believe; the US government targeted him within weeks and seized his devices […] Wagenius’ commanding officer at Fort Cavazos gave a verbal order forbidding Wagenius from “using or purchasing any technology such as laptops, tablets, cell phones, etc.” Wagenius said that he understood the order.

Definitely Warthunder with extra steps.

The next day, December 7, he… bought himself a new laptop, installed a VPN, and hopped right back online.

Lolololol
