Kane Gamble recently appeared in court to testify about hacking US government computers when he was 15 years old.

According to The Telegraph, "The teenager persuaded call handlers at an internet giant that he was John Brennan, the then director of the CIA, to gain access to his computers and an FBI helpdesk that he was Mark Giuliano, then the agency’s Deputy Director, to re-gain access to an intelligence database."

Kid crossed the line with the swatting calls though. Blak Dayz (Derek Watson) is a white hat hacker involved in the DEFCON community. He was swatted by hacker d3f4ult who was harassing the CIA and FBI as well. Dude is sitting behind bars now. It's all fun and games until a nasty hacker sends armed police to your home under false pretenses... No good.
