A 12-year-old boy in Montreal has pleaded guilty to breaking into multiple government and police websites in the name of the hacker collective Anonymous, reports the Toronto Sun. The attacks were not politically motivated, however; the boy testified that he traded information to members of Anonymous in exchange for videogames.
The boy admitted to hijacking websites for the Montreal police, the Quebec Institute of Public Health, and the Chilean government, among others. His attacks included flooding servers to bring down sites, defacing the text and appearance of sites, and accessing user information.
The court estimates he did $60,000 worth of damage. He will be sentenced next month. Despite his conviction, the boy remains truly anonymous as a minor, his name can't be published.

Aww, he just wanted some video games.
Pretty bad that Anonymous are getting people this young to do things for them, even worse that he can do these things anyway.
Also, can you not copy and paste the entire page when you make these topics, this information really isn't needed.

I find it crazy that he was even able to do this, being only 12 years old. I guess he just has to face the consequences.
