A Spalding computer hacker who is facing jail following attacks on major organisations including the Pentagon will discover his fate next month.
Jake Davis (20), previously from Shetland, but now living in Beech Avenue, Spalding, admitted conspiring to carry out a “denial of service” attacks against various websites at Southwark Crown Court last year.
The date for sentencing was set on Tuesday after the final member of the gang pleaded guilty to a key charge.
Ryan Ackroyd (26) was central to the campaign waged by internet hacking group Lulzsec when it launched the attacks in 2011.
He had been expected to stand trial on Tuesday for various offences, but changed his plea to a key charge at the last minute.
He is the last of four members of the gang, whose victims included the Pentagon, the CIA, and the UK’s Serious Organised Crime Agency, to be convicted.
Other victims of the online gang included the NHS, Sony, 20th Century Fox and Arizona State Police.
Ringleader Ryan Cleary (21) previously admitted co-ordinating the attacks and is currently in custody awaiting sentence.
He controlled a “botnet” which hijacked up to half a million compromised computers, using their combined power to launch attacks against websites.
Jake Davis and Mustafa Al-Bassam (18) both admit two computer hacking charges and are on bail awaiting sentence on the same date.
Al-Bassam, of southeast London, admits two counts of conspiring to do an unauthorised act with intent, or reckless as to, impairing the operation of computer.
Davis admits the same two charges and is on bail awaiting sentence on May 14.
Ackroydfrom Doncaster, admits one charge of conspiring to do an unauthorised act with intent, or reckless as to, impairing the operation of computer.
Cleary, from Wickford, Essex, earlier admitted two counts of the same offence and four hacking offences.
