The Australian hacker who breached Sony, Microsoft, Epic, Valve, Blizzard and other gaming companies before being raided by authorities in February is facing an array of unseemly charges, according to a report by an Australian wire service.

The report by the AAP wire service in The Australian indicates that the teen hacker who goes by the name SuperDaE (real name Dylan) is "facing eight charges including possession of child exploitation material... [as well as] failure to obey a data access order, possession of identification material with intent to commit an offence, dishonestly obtaining personal financial information, possession of cannabis and drug paraphernalia, possession of a prohibited weapon, and possessing and copying an indecent or obscene article."

SuperDaE is out on bail, according to the report.

wow wtf MS. Why'd you hire this guy?

jkjk

Don't mess with big corporations by yourself.

Very convenient for him to be under a bunch of unrelated charges. If he truly innocent I pray he comes out top but thats looking unlikely :(

damn...Hakcer by day, Pedophile by night...

Why would anybody want child porn? Kids are gross

This kid is only seventeen.  These items might not even be of children in the sense that you are thinking, but other similarly aged individuals, or even peoples they are guessing to be underage. 

He likes them fresh like the people hes going to be with in jail.

Depending on what province of Australia, the "child porn" may very well just be lolicon.

Sounds like he visited 4chan once.
