Islam has a long criminal history of swatting, which is the false reporting of a serious incident such as a bomb threat, murder, or hostage situation, to bring a large number of emergency responders to a designated area, according to KrebsonSecurity.
He was sentenced in 2016 to one year in jail for reporting phony bomb threats and fake hostage situations at the homes of celebrities and public officials, as well as stalking people online and posting their personal data on the Internet.
Islam filed a handwritten lawsuit from jail earlier in 2018 that named Woody, referring to him as ‘TJ,’ and accused him of ‘typosquatting,’ which is a form of cybersquatting where a person will hijack a brand by capitalizing on common typos made by internet users to obtain URLs that are similar to URLs owned by others.

‘Tired of the scene’: The trio, Woody (left), Islam (center) and Masters (right), are pictured together in Manila. Masters is said to have been ‘tiring of the scene’ In 2012, Islam was part of an FBI sting called Operation Card Shop, where the intelligence agency busted a group of nearly two dozen people for allegedly trafficking in stolen credit card information.
The operation was run by a group which Islam is believed to have founded called carders[dot]org, which collectively possessed information for more than 50,000 credit cards.

Woody is also said to have been a member of the group, which according to Wikipedia, became WhiteHat in 2018.
WhiteHat Security is a group that gets paid to test the security of websites.
Both suspects told police they were from Luxr LLC, a Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency trading firm registered in Lewes, Delaware.
