John Smedley, the former CEO of Sony Online Entertainment (now Daybreak Games), has had a few choice words to say about a member of the notorious hacking group, Lizard Squad.
Smedley voiced his frustration on Twitter towards Julius Kivimaki, a 17-year-old member of Lizard Squad who was partly responsible for the attacks on PlayStation Network during the Christmas 2014 period.
While recently convicted for his part in the cyber attacks, Kivimaki, self-proclaimed "untouchable hacker god," came out of Finnish courts with only a two-year suspended sentence—something which Smedley is none too pleased about, and hopes to take things further.
It turns out that Kivimaki didn’t just target PSN last Christmas; he played his part in making bomb threats to American Airlines, resulting in Smedley’s plane being delayed as a precaution. He also targeted Smedley’s place of work.
Check out Smedley’s Tweets on the matter below (via mweb):
that was the piece of garbage that brought my plane down, leaked my information and did all kinds of other crap to me.

and he still has 15 other criminal cases awaiting prosecution in Finland. I may go after his parents in Civil court too. Little dirtbag

His parents need to be held accountable for his actions in addition to his going to jail. @what_security – So I’m coming for you Julius.
