The CEO of Daybreak, formerly Sony Online Entertainment, is not happy. John Smedley’s plane was grounded after a bomb threat last August, a move infamous hacker group Lizard Squad took credit for. A Lizard Squad member was recently sentenced, but Smedley wants more.(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); }); Lizard Squad was, of course, also responsible for taking down Xbox Live and PlayStation Network last Christmas. 17-year-old Julius “zeekill” Kivimaki is the hacker in question, and he’ll serve a two-year sentence with zero prison time. His online activities will, however, be monitored by authorities.
In a series of tweets, Smedley articulated his dissatisfaction with how sentencing went. When you see him talking at @what_security, know that’s Kivimaki’s Twitter
account. He’s been tweeting recently, and his bio describes him as the “untouchable hacker god.” OK, then. Take it away, John. Interesting day for the good guys – http://t.co/J44lKLI0Tm — John Smedley (@j_smedley) July 8, 2015 that was the piece of garbage that brought my plane down, leaked my information and did all kinds of other crap to me. — John Smedley (@j_smedley) July 8, 2015
It's important to note – he was convicted of crimes that had nothing to do YET with the PSN DDOS over Christmas (yes he was part of that) — John Smedley sbfplay (@j_smedley) July 8, 2015 and he
still has 15 other criminal cases awaiting prosecution in Finland. I may go after his parents in Civil court too. Little dirtbag — John Smedley (@j_smedley) July 8, 2015 so stay tuned because @what_security – Here's his Twitter address. He's a sociopath and will get what's coming to him. — John Smedley (@j_smedley) July 8, 2015 what they won't tell you is he did time in jail already and got his ass kicked hard inside. @what_security – tell us that story Julius. — John Smedley (@j_smedley) July 8, 2015 The FBI nailed this guy literally immediately. It took the Finnish government a long time to catch up. — John Smedley (@j_smedley) July 8, 2015 I got to talk to this dirtbag once when he called and pretended to be someone else. — John Smedley ufa747 (@j_smedley) July 8, 2015 I also got to listen to the entire conversation between him and American Airlines the day he called in the bomb threat. — John Smedley (@j_smedley) July 8, 2015 His parents need to be held pay69 slot ดาวน์โหลด accountable for his actions in addition to his going to jail. @what_security – So I'm coming for you Julius. — John Smedley (@j_smedley) July 8, 2015 Tell us how you really feel! (Actually, it’s hard to blame him for being so angry.)
