The latest alleged hacking mastermind, an 18-year-old arrested at home last week in Scotland’s Shetland Islands, was let out on bail Monday with conditions meant to keep him off the Internet and home at night.
Jake Davis is accused of keeping log-in information for 750,000 people, acting as spokesman for amorphous hacktivist groups and helping to mastermind audacious online attacks against such prominent figures as the UK’s Serious Organized Crime Agency and embattled media mogul Rupert Murdoch.
