Hacker jailed over complex web scam

In one scam, Sussex Police said he was able to access the email account and the password of everyone that had bought an item using BT Openzone, which enables people to access the internet wirelessly. Using this pool of personal information, Peckover then searched to see which of them had a GMail email account, then created a list of more than 500 people whose email addresses he had obtained.
