Usually when a pirate is sent prison, he can wait his days of piracy to be more in the foreseeable future. However, where the cyber criminal Nicholas Webber was sentenced to five years, he quickly threw the rule book of the window, join the computer class from prison in London and hacking into its computer system.
The former 21 year purge time in the UK for the internet forum race on the Market Ghost crime, which offered a platform where the credit card information of its users may 8000 stolen exchange and advise on the creation of computer viruses. When Webber was convicted in 2011 it was estimated that he had orchestrated fraud in the region of £ 15 million - all in the comfort of a luxury penthouse suite, paid for, of course, by a credit card fly.
What has the prison - HMP Isis - to let him approach a computer remains a mystery, but they argue that, when the attack took place in the first year of the sentence Webber the network was secure and no data was never at risk of being compromised. However, it said his actions caused "major panic" and it is still unclear what - if anything -. He managed to access
The holding jail Michael Fox, a professor of computer course, responsible for the incident. Furthermore, Mr. Fox said he did not know why Webber was in jail and blames prison for it to register for the first class. Mr. Fox was banned access to the prison again and although Kensington and Chelsea College exonerated of any wrongdoing, he has since been unable to find work and is now claiming unfair dismissal from the prison - from where the reason why Webber audacious hacking details have now come to light.
So you can be assured that Webber probably will not be going anywhere near a computer anytime soon, there are unfortunately many pirates there, pending a opportunity to strike. An easy way to give your computer an extra level of protection is using a VPN service every time you browse the Web. A VPN makes it much harder for all hackers to access your personal information and help you feel safer when you're online.
