Lizard Squad, the group behind Christmas 2014 PSN and Xbox Live attacks, had one of their members convicted this week. Julius “zeekill” Kivimaki, the member in question, was convicted for over 50,000 charges of cyber crime.
Julius was also responsible for a bomb threat last Summer, which caused John Smedley’s – former Sony exec and now CEO of Daybreak – flight to land due to security concerns.
However, somehow Julius didn’t get any jail time, but instead received a two year suspended sentence. Meanwhile authorities will monitor his online activities.
Daybreak CEO doesn’t seem to be impressed by this judgement and wants more. He expressed his rage in a series of tweets and said that the teenager’s parents should be held accountable for his actions.
that was the piece of garbage that brought my plane down, leaked my information and did all kinds of other crap to me.

It's important to note – he was convicted of crimes that had nothing to do YET with the PSN DDOS over Christmas (yes he was part of that)

and he still has 15 other criminal cases awaiting prosecution in Finland. I may go after his parents in Civil court too. Little dirtbag

what they won't tell you is he did time in jail already and got his ass kicked hard inside. @what_security – tell us that story Julius.

The FBI nailed this guy literally immediately. It took the Finnish government a long time to catch up.

I got to talk to this dirtbag once when he called and pretended to be someone else.

I also got to listen to the entire conversation between him and American Airlines the day he called in the bomb threat.

His parents need to be held accountable for his actions in addition to his going to jail. @what_security – So I'm coming for you Julius.

Smedley’s anger is totally justified and I do agree with him on Julian and other members getting what they deserve.
However, going after Julian’s parents in Civil Court? Doesn’t seem like the right thing to do. I doubt going after his parents will make any difference to him or his activities in the future.
