Jailed cyber criminal hacked into prison computer system from Jail

Nicholas Webber, serving five years in prison for running an internet crime forum Ghost Market, which allowed those interested in creating computer viruses, partaking of stolen IDs and enjoying private credit card data to congregate. The incident occurred back in 2011, but it only came to light recently. His IT teacher, Michael Fox, who was employed by Kensington and Chelsea College, has now brought a claim for unfair dismissal, saying that it wasn’t his fault that Webber ended up in his class. Fox also says he had no idea Webber was a hacker.
