One of the members of the notorious DDoS scripting crew known as the Lizard Squad has been convicted of 50,000 counts of cyber-crimes. The Finland native, Julius Kivimaki, was convicted in a court of law but will not serve any prison time. According to the
Daily Dot Kivimaki, only 17-years-old, will undergo two years of strict monitoring of his online activities. I do wonder if this means there will be someone standing over his shoulder whenever he does go online or if they will have remote access to his computer? If someone isn't going to be there to monitor his computer activity then there's another issue that arises: what happens if Kivimaki decides to go to the local library or cyber cafe? How would the authorities know that he's not getting back into his old habits? If no one is personally monitoring him could also not be possible for him to just head to a friend's house and boot up a PC and get right back into the old groove? According to the Daily Dot, Kivimaki has been charged for data breaching, harassment, fraud and violation of company secrets.
