LizardSquad member sentenced.

I bet most people here don't even know how much this kid has done to people. He's done numerous SWATTING on people, grounded a flight with a bomb threat and god knows what else.

There's a big difference between somebody's first offence, and somebody's first 50,000 offences. Personally, I don't see why there should be a difference between (this is just an example, I never followed Lizard Squad's work closely so I'm not fully aware of what they've actually done apart from the PSN and XBL hackings) stealing somebody's credit card out of their purse or stealing their credit card details from an online database.

Kind of mad that he has over 50,000 hacking charges and no prison time, imagine if he was in America.

 

[dathowibe]

2 years for all that he has donelol ok.

 

[Impact]

lmao, 2 years of babysitting. that is great xD!

Personally I find the Lizard Squad members funny in their interviews. They straight troll 100% of the time. One of the members (Savaged) actually plays Runescape. I find it interesting that everything somehow ties into Runescape at some point.

Hard to believe the punishment is so light, He'll probably end up getting a job out of it in the long run too. Similar to Jacmob.

That's how it is in Finland..

The way they brag is pathetic.
If you got to do something please keep it quiet ..

Talk about Karma.

It seems light but the deal is likely contingent on him being able to bring down other members of lizard squad, who will be offered the same deal. If this ends up being the case we should see them in them in the spot light in the near future.

Exactly, make him an informant.

Once they get the whole group together they can charge them with raqueteering.

I think sentence is just right, you dont have to ruin 17 year old kids life by putting him in jail. After all he should help a lot them.

Started from runescape now are white colar specialists.

Companies wanting to press charges would have to do so through a civil court, which is a different kettle of fish and the only real charge you can give in a civil court is compensation which is (9 times out of 10) in the form of money, if a person hasn't got the money to give, you can't get blood out of a stone they say.

I agree with that... and the persecution? Justifiable.

People with knowledge like them deserve to work for the government and use their power for good.. We can't send them to jail? I think of it that way..

And if they don't want to or wouldn't be reliable if they did work for the government?

 

It's extremely frustrating because people could have died. 2 years, pft.

 

We need hackers. Its required for security advancement.

But there's hacking and there's disruption for the fun of it - he should be punished. Helping the Finnish cybercrime division may rehabilitate him and give him a new road in life where he can be a helpful hacker and not a disruptive one. Rehab is always better than punishment where possible.

Rofl is that it? Just take away his internet that must be the harshest punishment trust me.

 

[Shadexpwn]

I remember Kim DotCom had to bail out PS4 & Xbox Live to reaccess the network connectivity a few months back.

Good, the more they arrest the better. Ddosing massive game servers for fun is pretty scummy.
