TeaMp0isoN Member that Hacked Tony Blair Sentenced

TeaMp0isoN member, Junaid Hussain, 18, of Birmingham, was accused and plead guilty to hacking in the Gmail account of British Prime Minister Tony Blair.

According to ThreatPost, the attack that Hussain admitted to being involved with was a breach of the email account of one of Blair’s former advisers. Hussain, who used the handle “TriCk”, pleaded guilty in early July to the attack and was sentenced Tuesday in England to six months in prison for the attack. He was arrested in April.

According to Sophos’s Naked Security, members of the TeaMp0isoN hacking gang then published the hacked information online, sparking security fears about the safety of the former Prime Minister, his friends and associates.

A time in prison at the start of your adult life is no easy undertaking. Hope the young lad learned his lesson.
