Williams, a 39-year-old Australian citizen who was known inside the company as "Doogie," admitted to prosecutors that he stole and sold eight exploits, or " zero-days," which are security flaws in software that are unknown to its maker and are extremely valuable to hack into a target's devices. Williams said some of those exploits, which he stole from his own company Trenchant, were worth $35 million, but he only received $1.3 million in cryptocurrency from the Russian broker.
