He never pretended to have been attacked 1000 times WITHIN 48 hours. The news feed ingame works as follows:

Shows achievements you've got.

Doesn't show successful spy items when you're the target.

Shows everything else when you are, be it failed spying, vandalism, robbery, intimidation, or successful vandalism, robbery, intimidation.

So basically, if he got a news line reading "[username] earned the Infamous achievement" and there's no robbery, vandalism or intimidation attempt on that user at the exact same timestamp, it is safe to assume a failed spying attempt triggered the achievement.

Also, achievements can be earned when you're offline.
