According to Nasdaq.com, a Minnesota man who killed his wife but tried to make it look like suicide in November 2016 was later caught by the FBI because an ethical hacker breached the database of a darknet website offering hitman services and leaked the data.
Stephen Allwine, 43, of Cottage Grove, Minnesota, an IT specialist who had been frequenting the infidelity site Ashley Madison for trysts with other women, wanted his wife Amy dead, so he went on the Dark Web to contact a supposed murder-for-hire site called “Besa Mafia.” Because of the ethical hacker’s actions, the FBI had contacted the Cottage Grove Police Department to inform them that someone was trying to hire a hit man on the Dark Web to kill Amy Allwine. In June, 2016, an FBI agent met with the Allwines to let them know someone was out to kill Amy and to advise them to install a security system at the house. Soon after that, Stephen Allwine purchased a 9-millimeter handgun; the same one used to later murder his wife.
