Lewys Martin, a 22 year old hacker, who was threatening to expose personal data of 28,000 customers of Lloyds Bank, pled guilty at Southwark Crown Court on September 3, 2014 to blackmail, possession of articles for use in fraud and possession of indecent images of children. Little is actually known about the defendant, except that he had previously lived in Deal in Kent. The case was originally reported to police by the Lloyds Banking Group and The Sun newspapers, both of whom claimed that they were being blackmailed by someone who had obtained the bank account details of approximately 28,000 of their customers.

Like we need any more bad publicity. What a fool. Guy clearly wasn't that smart committing hacking with a hard drive full of CP.
