On one affair ‘hacktivist’ Christopher Weatherhead assisted in targeting PayPal since they denied donations for the fundraising of Julian Assange’s WikiLeaks, costing it £3.5million.

Today the 22-year-old persisted impassive as the guilty verdict was delivered for his part in distributed denial of service, or DDoS, attacks, which made the companies websites inaccessible.
