This is the Hacker with the longest prison sentence… 334 years!
A 26-year-old hacker has been sentenced to 334 years in prison for identity theft and massive bank fraud in Turkey, or in simple terms, he was sentenced to spend the rest of his life in prison!
His name is Onur Kopçak, and the hacker was arrested in 2013 on charges of creating a fake phishing website, which purported to be a banking site, tricking victims into entering their account details, including their credit card information.
Kopçak's website was part of a larger and more extensive credit card fraud scheme in which he and 11 other operators used illegally acquired bank account details to carry out fraudulent operations.
Upon his arrest in 2013, Turkish authorities accused him of:
– Stealing personal information
– Website forgery
– Device access fraud
– Wire fraud…
… and was sentenced to 199 years, 7 months and 10 days in prison, following complaints from 43 bank customers. However, during the investigation, 11 more bank customers also reported incidents related to their payment cards…. so they “put” Kopçak to a new test…!
We have and say… 199 + 135 = 334 years of imprisonment!
During the new cycle, which concluded yesterday (January 10), the Mersin Third Criminal Court added another 135 years to Kopçak's final sentence of 199 years, 7 months and 10 days, according to the Daily Sabah report.
With a total of 334 years in prison, Kopçak is by far the top of the list of hackers with the longest prison sentences.
