Lulzsec Sony and Nintendo hacker pleads guilty in court
Ryan Ackroyd, 26, entered his guilty plea at a hearing in London today. He will be sentenced on May 14 along with the three other hackers, Bloomberg reports.
Last year, Lulzsec members Ryan Cleary and Jake Davis both pleaded guilty to multiple counts of conspiracy related to website attacks on Sony, Nintendo the NHS and a raft of other institutions.
The group used distributed denial of service attacks on a number of video game companies between February and September 2011.
They modified some computers, including adjusting security settings and access to confidential data, and redirected visitors to Lulzsec websites.
Teenager Mustafa Al-Bassam also previously pleaded to disrupting websites at the Central Intelligence Agency and the UK's Serious Organised Crime Agency.

640 damn, this is why you shouldn't hack, classic example, and you can be taken for courts for minor hacking like taking a site down, so why hack !?
That's not minor hacking... Yes, the DDoS/ing is minor but it said he tweaked there security settings to access confidential data and redirect websites to there own...

Gossip Why would you plead quilty?
He and his lawyers probably got a deal from the da that was better then what he would've gotten if he went to court. Atleast thats how it works in the US.

ScoobiexI-Pumfay-Ix You watch 50 years something stupid like that rapists get less :/ What has our Justice System come to.
I agree they will sentence them something silly in an attempt to scare
others who might follow in there footsteps doesnt make sense.
Its needs people to stop rolling over and letting their countries do this to their people, its insane how an internet hackers are starting to get jail time, soon it will be more than rapists, i saw a guy who killed his 6 kids get less time than a hacker before... i mean wtf, something not right, if people stand up in protest, then then people control the governments, because they know they have to do what its people wants or they dont get voted in simple as that. Its getting to the point where its just assholes trying to make an example of people, yet if an employer did that it would be a problem. bunch of **** hypocrits in power, they need to back off, the internet is our last place of freedom and they are like everything else taking that away from us.

Twigz I find these stupid, people who have commited real crime like **** and robbery get like 10 years it's stupid.
Jake Davis actually never went to jail. He is on house arrest and can't use the internet. I know Sabu got a good deal for ratting them out too, so I don't expect much to happen to Ryan considering he wasn't even the leader.
