Hacker Who Targeted Cops Gets Jail Time
A hacker who launched a long-running cyber-attack against a New Hampshire police department has been sent to prison for a year and a day.
Wayne Kenney Jr. broke into the computer systems of the Farnum Center, the Auburn Police Department (APD) and several department employees in 2015 after receiving a suspended sentence for heroin possession.
The Farnum Center is an addiction treatment center based in Manchester, New Hampshire, and it is where 31-year-old Hooksett resident Kenney was sent for drug treatment in early 2015.
After gaining access to the Center's systems on July 1, Kenney re-routed a drug helpline 1-800 telephone number to an adult entertainment business. He also doctored the Center's portal so that users who logged in were greeted with a link to a video that showed heroin being injected.
