Teenager Hacker who Created PS400,000 using Virus is Imprisoned for two Years

Adam Mudd, a computer hacker has been imprisoned for two years.



A teenager computer hacker was sentenced to two years of prison today for creating the program that was used in almost 1.7 million attacks across Greenland and New Zealand'.



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



He developed the distributed denial of service, or DDoS, software from his bedroom. He began selling it to criminals when he was at school at the age of 16.



More than 650,000 victims were targeted during the 1.7 million attacks, of which 52,000 were from Britain.



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



Runescape was targeted 25,000 times, 1.4 per cent of the total attacks, and in the last four years the company has spent more than PS6million trying to shield themselves from hackers.



Mudd earned an amount of $307 298.35 and 259.81 Bitcoins totalling an overall PS386,079 by the time he turned 18.

Or something


One attack in 2014 on West Hertfordshire College, where he studied was so massive that it may have hit 70 schools and universities in the area, including the University of Cambridge.



The Old Bailey heard that he assaulted his college four more times during the year. He later claimed it was due to being mugged but no action was taken.



This map shows the locations of 1.7 million attacks that were carried out around the world by hackers using Mudd's program. The key displays the number of attacks that were executed in specific countries.



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



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



As the sentence was passed, the defendant displayed no emotion as his parents sat in court.



The judge rejected a plea to suspend the sentence made by the defense, who said Mudd had been offered two weeks of unpaid work in cyber security.
