Andrew Alan Escher Auernheimer[3] (/ˈɔːrənhaɪmər/OR-ən-hy-mər;[4] born 1985 (1985)), best known by his pseudonym weev, is an American computer hacker[5][6] and professional[7][8] Internet troll.[2][9][10][11] Affiliated with the alt-right, he has been described as a neo-Nazi, white supremacist, and antisemitic conspiracy theorist.[12] He has used many aliases when he has contacted the media, but most sources state that his real first name is Andrew.[11][13]
As a member of the hacker group Goatse Security, Auernheimer exposed a flaw in AT&T's security that compromised the e-mail addresses of iPad users. When it revealed the flaw to the media, the group also exposed the personal data of over 100,000 people, which led to a criminal investigation and an indictment for identity fraud and conspiracy. Auernheimer was sentenced to serve 41 months in a federal prison, of which he served approximately 13 months before his conviction was vacated by a higher court.
In 2016, Auernheimer was responsible for sending thousands of white-supremacist flyers to unsecured web-connected printers at multiple universities and other locations in the U.S. Since his release from prison, he has lived in several countries in Eastern Europe and the Middle East.[14] In 2016, he told an interviewer that he was living in Kharkiv.[15] In 2017, it was reported that he was acting as webmaster for the neo-Nazi website The Daily Stormer.[16][17] The Southern Poverty Law Center describes him as "a neo-Nazi white supremacist"[9] known for "extremely violent rhetoric advocating genocide of non-whites".[1]
