Title: [2016-01-12]Hacker, 26, Sees Record Prison Sentence of 336 Years Post by: tolikkk on January 11, 2016, 09:14:48 PM On Sunday, a 26-year old hacker was sentenced for the theft and subsequent sale of credit card information to other cyber criminals.
Onur Kopçak, a 26-year old Turkish hacker, will serve a record 334 years in prison. Kopçak saw a sentence of 135 years approved by the Mersin third Criminal Court of General Jurisdiction on Sunday, as reported by CNNTurk. The new sentence adds to a previous 199-year sentence from 2013, convicted for a similar hacking ploy that he carried out with 11 other hackers at the time. In 2013, the then 24-year old hacker was a part of a dozen-strong black-hat hacker collective. The group engaged in a phishing scam which had at least 43 bank customers filing complaints that their credit card information was copied and stolen. The scheme was carried out through expertly designed websites that replicated several banks’ websites, enabling Kopçak and his group of hackers to obtain crucial login information of targeted banking users. At the time, Kopçak was convicted for an array of charges including identify fraud, access device fraud, website forgery and wire fraud. Following complaints and a subsequent investigation, the Criminal Court of Appeals for the 8th circuit sentenced Kopçak to 199 years, 7 months and 10 days in prison, in 2013. https://hacked.com/hacker-26-sees-record-prison-sentence-of-336-years/ (https://hacked.com/hacker-26-sees-record-prison-sentence-of-336-years/) Title: Re: [2016-01-12]Hacker, 26, Sees Record Prison Sentence of 336 Years Post by: crazywack on January 11, 2016, 10:43:39 PM I bet the kid would get 20 years in the USA and out in 10-12 after parole working as a contractor for the NSA Seems a bit exsesive, probably didn't flip on his buddies and wanted to make an example of him.
