Computer hacker jailed for attacking websites of airport and hospital

Posted on June 18, 2017 by Dissent

ITV reports:

A homeless computer hacker calling himself His Royal Gingerness has been jailed for attacking the websites of the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital and Norwich International Airport.

The actions of Daniel Devereux, 30, cost Norwich International Airport between £30,000 and £40,000, and caused the website of the hospital to be taken down for a day, Norwich Magistrates’ Court heard.

Devereux admitted two counts of unauthorised access under the Computer MisuseAct and was sentenced to 32 weeks in prison.

Read more on ITV.  The hack of Norwich International Airport was in November, 2015.  Devereux was arrested in February, 2016.  I don’t see where I knew about the hospital attack at the time, but looking into it now, it also appears to have been in 2015.
