Teenage hacker who targeted top CIA chief bags 2-yr sentence
A teenager who founded the hacking group that broke into ex-CIA chief John Brennan’s email has been sentenced to serve two years at a youth detention center.
Kane Gamble went by the alias “Cracka” when he and his group “Crackas With Attitude” targeted top US officials, including FBI deputy director Mark Giuliano, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper and their families and colleagues, a few years ago.
In addition to sentencing the now-18-year-old to two years in prison, the judge also ordered his computers to be seized.
Authorities arrested the UK native in early 2016, and he pleaded guilty to 10 hacking charges in October 2017.
