12-year-old Canadian boy admits to hacking police and government sites for Anonymous

A 12-year-old Canadian boy has pleaded guilty to hacking government and police websites during the 2012 student uprising in Quebec under affiliation with the Anonymous brand of hacktivists. The fifth grader, who lives in the Montreal suburb of Notre-Dame-de-Grce, appeared in youth court on Thursday, accompanied by his father. The attacks took some of the sites offline for up to two days, at what police estimated as a cost of $60,000 in damages.”]
