The Boston Business Journal reports the juvenile, known as Dshocker, pleaded guilty today to running a vast "botnet" of "zombie" computers (PCs infected with trojans he controlled) to break into corporate networks and run a campaign of virtual terror against competing hackers. The Register has more details. He'll do 11 months in a federal juvenile detention center.

too bad it's federal juvie..
if he had been living in worcester, NY and had been prosecuted by the state, I could have come up with an awesome reference to AZ's Sugar Hill, and how the little punk had all kinds of undercovers comin' at he and how we are all happy because he'll be spending some time at coxsackie. oh, well.
