'You targeted a large charitable organisation' thundered judge
A Londoner who hacked the National Lottery using Sentry MBA and made off with just £5 will spend up to nine months in prison for his crimes.
Anwar Batson, 29, of Lancaster Road in London's Notting Hill, was part of a group of miscreants who hacked into the National Lottery website in 2016.
Batson, Crown prosecutor Suki Dhadda told Southwark Crown Court this morning, downloaded Sentry MBA and joined a chat group discussing and swapping configuration files for the software.
The Londoner, a father of one, "counselled others on how to hack" and "enabled them to successfully use Sentry MBA to hack others' accounts," said Dhadda.
