I hope that for this kid can be helped because if he can't he'll spend along time sitting in a cell thinking about it. There will always be a chance his machine was used a a zombie but that will be discovered once they check his stash of stuff they took if he had help and or is part of any larger group that has been causing issues for others.. who knows time will tell but for now we can play games again on the ps3 ..... yaaaaaaaaaahoooooo sad for him though having the bill sitting around his neck to pay back hes going to be very broke ex gamer for along time, along with his folks if he was living at home....

LulzSec denying that this kid was one of them according to story on ZeroPaid. Sounds like someone's looking for a scapegoat.
Conspiracy theories anyone?

One, don't use the "C" word! Thread will go "Buh By" in a heart beat... 2, plasma in another forum (same site here) & I were watching on twitter that somewhere in the British isles were bugging a BallSack conspirator.
I alluded to the fact that he was low level & a squirrel, no real account, but then I would expect no less a comment from BallSack either.
Anonymity bravado is easy, standing in the courtroom before your peers to explain your actions is another.

What would happen if he got court, was cleared of that crime but found to be in possession of a load of downloaded media on his hard drive? Films, music, etc...
Could that land him in trouble?

He's in Britain, I don't know how the copyright laws are extended over there? Over here, he was arrested under the hospices of cyber crimes, so it would have to be in civil court that he would be sued for the copyright infringements & not DRM. The possession issue becomes whether the computer is actually his or his folks & that brouhaha.
I would find it actually comical if the entertainment industry found themselves on the wrong end of cyber criminal's investigation of this thing... but now I'm just making fun of the whole thing.

At least G-Bay is closed now that the US passes their bill on treating cyber terrorism = to real life terrorism. The kid should have deleted any trace of his hacks as he was doing it. Apparently there is hard evidence enough to incriminate him.

perhaps it has something to do with the person in this article link
Quote:
We have all his online accounts, all his personal information, all the illegal things he's done on record. We destroyed him so hard that he sat there apologizing to us all night on IRC for what he did. His mother probably spanked him after we wrecked his home connection. Uh-oh, m_nerva!
wonder if they found a file hidden on his computer with all his personal information,online accounts & all the illegal things hes done.

That would then indicate that WebNinjas is again nothing more than a bunch of reporters looking for that big break into prime time and this 'kid' is just a small fish or as the infantry call them, bullet catchers or rocks. Redundantly, nothing more than a talented diversion.
At this point it seems too easy. Kind of like the greatest illusionist ever all of the sudden screwing up? Not that it happens, just too clean. And for it to be 'just one'.
Nah, the dominoes aren't even close to falling yet. These guys are playing a very dangerous game of shadows and mirrors & have no clue as to the nest of sharks they're stirring up.
