Call of Duty "Hacker" Jailed for Spreading Virus, Stealing Credit Card Numbers, Being a Thug
Englishman Lewys Martin thought it would be a good idea to to offer people "hacks" for Call of Duty Games, which not only broke the rules of the game, but also included a virus.
No, Lewys, it was not a good idea, especially since it's now got you some jail time. Martin, who is only 20, earned "thousands of pounds" operating a website offering exploits for unspecified Call of Duty shooters on the PC, while at the same time including a trojan horse with the program that let him "remotely monitor computer users' keystrokes" so he could snatch things like credit card info. He'd then sell the stolen credit card numbers for a few bucks a pop.
Farcically, he has pleaded with the judge to let him finish a university IT course he's currently enrolled in, "which would allow him to harness his abilities for good and not evil". Um, no, he's spending 18 months in jail instead.
