    Security researcher pleads guilty to hacking into MSFT and Nintendo.


    "A 24-year-old security researcher narrowly avoided prison today, after admitting to hacking into Microsoft and Nintendo servers and stealing confidential information. Zammis Clark, known online as Slipstream or Raylee, was charged on multiple counts of computer misuse offenses in a London Crown Court on Thursday, and pleaded guilty to hacking into Microsoft and Nintendo networks.

    Prosecutors revealed that Clark had gained access to a Microsoft server on January 24th, 2017 using an internal username and password, and then uploaded a web shell to remotely access Microsoft’s network freely for at least three weeks.

    This news is quite interesting for us insiders because it has to do with a very well known site among us, Buildfeed, as everyone knows, Tom Hounsell closed this page some time ago, today details have been revealed about how he obtained the numbers of the builds:

    "26-year-old Thomas Hounsell, known in the Windows community for running the now discontinued BuildFeed website, also appeared alongside Clark in court on Thursday. Hounsell has always closely followed Microsoft’s development processes and used Clark’s server breach to conduct more than 1,000 searches for products, codenames, and build numbers over a 17-day period."

    "...Hounsell was also sentenced to six months imprisonment, suspended for 18 months, and given 100 hours of community service."


    This could also be one of the reasons why he had to close Buildfeed.
