Summary
Two men were given suspended prison sentences in a London court yesterday after entering guilty pleas to hacking charges that saw both Microsoft and Nintendo breached (via the Verge, the Evening Standard).Zammis Clark, now 24, broke into a Microsoft server in early 2017 and for about three weeks had access to part of Microsoft's network. Until earlier this year, Hounsell operated BuildFeed, a site tracking internal Windows build numbers and releases, even those that were not made public.Microsoft estimated that recovery incurred costs of around $2 million.Both men were arrested in June 2017 after Clark installed malware on one of the Microsoft machines.
