17-year old Lizard Squad hacker pleads guilty to 23 counts of harassment

A 17-year old member of Lizard Squad, the hacking group that took down Xbox LIVE and PlayStation Networks last Christmas, has pleaded guilty to 23 counts of harassment in a US court.

The teenager, who can’t be named due his age, pleaded guilty to harassing young female gamers and the parents across the United States of America, going so far as to ‘swat’ victims.

The United States teenager has been arrested alongside previous arrests in the UK.
