Dylan Wheeler is a Czech hacker known for being a member of the Xbox Underground hacking group.[1][2]

Dylan was named as a co-conspirator in a sealed federal US indictment in July 2013 leaked by The Smoking Gun[3] which alleges the group named Xbox Underground were responsible for compromising computer networks of its targets between 2011 and 2013, most notably Microsoft and Epic Games.[4][5] Wheeler's home was raided on 19 February 2013 by the WA Police in collaboration with the FBI[6] and later charged with possession of child pornography and a stem of Australian charges similarly related to those of his US counterparts to which he pleaded not guilty.[7] Wheeler denied possessing child pornography, saying authorities wrongly believe that images on a public server he hosted belonged to him.[8]

He was the subject of a report on ABC's 7.30 regarding his leaving Australia to evade trial.[9]
