A pair who helped scam businesses through an 'insidious and hard to detect' cyber hacking program should be jailed for their crimes, a court hears.
An Adelaide pair who helped scam businesses through an "insidious and hard to detect" cyber hacking program should be jailed for their crimes, a court has heard.They have both pleaded guilty to what prosecutors described as "serious cyber hacking offences"
"The offences to which the defendants have now pleaded guilty are serious — cyber hacking offences, for want of a better word — resulting in thefts," prosecutor Alex Rathbone told the court. But she said a prison sentence was "inevitable" for Lees and, while Walker's offending was less serious, jail time would still be sought.
The court heard Lees was putting aside about $100 a week from his part-time work for restitution to the victims, and that he was attempting to sell a house he co-owned for further restitution.
