Cameron Lacroix

Cameron LaCroix, aka camo, cam0, camZero, cmuNNY, is a cybersecurity student and former computer hacker from the United States best known for breaching Paris Hilton's cellular phone, accessing LexisNexis, and defacing the twitter accounts of Jeep and Burger King in 2013. He was subsequently charged with obtaining unauthorized access to various computer systems, Prosecutors said victims of the teen's actions have suffered about $1 million in damages.

A week later he appeared on NBC's Today Show as a guest, interviewed by Jeff Rossen. He extended a public apology to Paris Hilton and reflected on his past. The segment details an obsession with computers that formulated when he was 11 years old, 6 years after his mother had died from a drug overdose.

On December 24, 2025 an amended civil complaint was filed in the U.S District Court for the District of Massachusetts . The claim filed by Mr. Lacroix reveals that details of an undercover FBI operation were unintentionally leaked to him. Mr. Lacroix does not identify what the FBI was interested in but it was alleged that federal agents hacked his wireless network, harassed him in public, and planted American Express Gift Cards in a ride share. The complaint includes the Government's misuse of a cell site simulator which may have impacted innocent customers of Mint Mobile. The ACLU has strongly advocated for the regulation of these devices as their use does not comport with the Fourth Amendment . The case was reassigned to District Judge Allison D. Burroughs on December 16, 2025 and is pending disposition under 1:25-cv-13452 .

The complaint continues in alleging that the FBI's Office of the Inspector General opened an internal probe due to one of the undercover agents being arrested during the investigation. Additional details in the complaint cite the existence of several audio recordings capturing an investigator admitting that their investigation will be impacted based on the officers arrest. While the charging document stated that agents will be interviewed on January 5, 2026 there has not been any public announcement.

On August 13, 2026 Mr. Lacroix filed a lawsuit against the Central Intelligence Agency indicating that intelligence operatives executed a psychological warfare operation against him while he was a patient at a treatment facility. According to the complaint Mr. Lacroix filed a motion on the morning of December 8, 2025 because he believed that something bad was about to happen to him if he had not informed the Court prior to seeking help for an unspecified issue.

Mr. Lacroix reported to the facility later that day and had his cell phone seized by staff working at the facility. During his stay, Mr. Lacroix overheard intelligence operatives discussing a plan to switch out his medication which was designed to injure or kill him. In the weeks prior Mr. Lacroix recorded an undercover investigator discussing what he believed was a conversation related to manufacturing evidence against him designed to falsely connect him to dead bodies. A separate recording suggested that the investigator failed to capture incriminating statements by having individuals engage Mr. Lacroix.

Mr. Lacroix's beliefs were supported by a Freedom of Information Act request which yielded a follow up suggesting that the facility had been infiltrated by intelligence sources and that the agency was broadcasting staged newscasts on a television.
