I agree that he should have given a more serious punishment but at the same time am slightly interested in how the government plans on implementing that electronic curfew.
Because I don't think the government can do that because of so many things we have now a days considering the web of internet is everywhere.
And what was the guy thinking ? When he was blackmailing apple ? Ofc they are gonna find him , it's a tech company.

However, I think the sentenced was too weak, I think if this happens in the US Kerem could get heavier punishment. Probably the court wanted to teach the kid a lesson, but we all know that crime is a crime. I disagree with the court's decision though. Those cyber criminals should get harsher punishment.
Someone I knew nicked a bag of coal from their local petrol station. They had the police helicopter after them and were cornered by three police cars. I guess it was a quiet night.
If I walk into my local shop and walk out with £150 worth of junk I'll have my head caved in and the full force of the law thrown at me.
If I nick £2 million from tricking pensioners into doing bank transfers to me no one will lift a finger to attempt to find me.
I don't get how we reached this state of affairs.

Recently, I opened up a thread about Teen crook hacked into 75 phones and stole $1M in cryptocurrency: authorities . This time, 22-year old Londoner Kerem Albayrak was sentenced today after attempting to blackmail Apple by threatening to factory reset 319 million iCloud accounts and selling the users' data and demanding $75,000 in crypto-currency.
