Computer hacker Adam Mudd has been jailed for two years



A computer hacker in the teen years who earned nearly PS400,000 by creating a programme which was used in 1.7 million attacks spanning from 'Greenland to New Zealand' was jailed for two years on the day of today.



Adam Mudd, now 20 years old Adam Muddd, now 20 years old, sold access to Titanium Stresser which allowed users to crash computers and websites through flooding them with data.



He invented the distributed denial of service, also known as DDoS software in his bedroom. He began selling it to criminals when he was at school aged 16.



The 1.7million attacks were carried out against more than 650,000 victims of which 52,000 were from the UK.



Victims included Xbox Live users, and players of the computer games Runescape and Minecraft.



Runescape was targeted 25 times, 1.4 per cent of the total attacks. In the past four years, the company spent nearly PS6million attempting to protect themselves from hackers.



Mudd earned the sum of $307 298.35 and 259.81 Bitcoins that was worth an aggregate of PS386,079 by when he reached the age of 18.

He was a rogue student at four times in the course of the year, and later claimed it was because he'd been mugged but no action was taken according to the Old Bailey heard.

In October of last year, Mudd was convicted of computer hacking and laundering of money.



He was sentenced today to two years in a young offenders institution.



The defendant did not show any emotion when his sentence was handed down as his parents were in the well of the court.



The defense had offered Mudd two weeks of work for which he was paid and the judge denied their request to revoke the sentence.
