Texas Christian University graduate who became an Internet joke when he tried to hire computer hackers to boost his transcript has been unmasked as a top aide to a Montana congressman.

Todd Shriber, 28, was fired as communications director to Republican Rep. Denny Rehberg after an Internet blogger revealed his identity and he confessed.


Shriber couldn't be reached for comment. He had been held up to widespread online ridicule when the "hackers" strung him along with silly requests, including demanding photos of squirrels to "prove his identity," and posted all his e-mails – including squirrel photos he submitted – on the Internet

Shriber first e-mailed the operators of a computer security Web site in August, asking them to break into the database at TCU and change his GPA to improve his chances of being admitted to grad school.

Here are his email exchanges with the alleged hackers he tried to hire.
