Connecticut:
. People like you are the one who adore person like Saraki and Atiku. If he needs job and he want to prove himself genius I am 100% sure UK will surely gives him job which he can earn million of pounds in a year, must he do bad things before he can get job? Africans is only God can save us from our negative and upside down thinking.
Who is Saraki?
Who is Atiku?
I have no business with politics...honestly. I'm not saying you have to do bad things to get a job, I'm saying if he was capable of doing that, then he has some talent of some sort that nobody does. If he's released and he's not kept busy, he could do worse. He could even decide to work for bad guys like terrorists.

I would have suggested his immediate pardon & release for potentially ruining people's businesses & disabling communications but the fact that he prevented millions from accessing porn is unforgivable.


His sentence should be tripled & he should be moved to a Liberian prison ASAP.

Hacker who took down entire nation's internet is jailed

By Rob Picheta, CNN



Daniel Kaye, 30, was arrested in December.

London (CNN) — A British hacker whose cyberattacks took the nation of Liberia offline has been jailed for almost three years.

Daniel Kaye launched a series of attacks on Liberian cell phone operator Lonestar in October 2015, which became so powerful they knocked out the west African country's internet the following year.

Kaye, 30, had been hired to carry out the attacks by a senior employee at rival operator Cellcom, Britain's National Crime Agency said in a statement, although there is no suggestion that Cellcom was aware of the activity.

He pleaded guilty to creating and using a botnet, a series of computers connected in order to attack systems, and possessing criminal property last month. Kaye was sentenced on Friday at Blackfriars Crown Court in central London to two years and eight months in prison.

While living in Cyprus, Kaye used a botnet he had created to trigger repeated distributed denial of service (DDoS) requests on Lonestar, causing the company to spend around $600,000 in remedial action.

The additional impact of customers leaving the network caused the company to lose tens of millions of dollars in lost revenue, the NCA added.

Following his arrest in February 2017, Kaye was extradited to Germany, where he also admitted to attacks on Deutsche Telekom that affected around 1 million customers in November 2016.

"Daniel Kaye was operating as a highly skilled and capable hacker-for-hire," Mike Hulett, Head of Operations at the NCA's National Cyber Crime Unit, said.

"His activities inflicted substantial damage on numerous businesses in countries around the world, demonstrating the borderless nature of cyber crime," he added. "The victims in this instance suffered losses of tens of millions of dollars and had to spend a large amount on mitigating action."

I envy his skills... He should not be jailed, rather placed on house arrest, counseled and given high-paying government job! grin

Pipe down, and get off that silly high horse... Employing him under very strict observation, is what any wise government would do! DO you think England will allow his skills go unharnessed? He won't even spend more than 6 months in minimum security cosy "jail"! cool

If the all the ethical hackers working for Liberia could not stop him.....the man should be celebrated.
...and where is Liberia? Among the countries of the world where does Liberia rank in educatuon, science and tech? FYI Liberia is another shithole just like Niggeria. Hacking their systems should be something any hacker with half a brain should be able to do.
