Daniel Kelley (born 1997 in Llanelli, South Wales) is a British computer hacker who, at the age of 16, hacked computer systems and blackmailed individuals and companies around the world over a period of years. He would come to be described as a "prolific, skilled and cynical cyber-criminal".[1][2][3]
While on bail, Kelley engaged in extensive bug bounty and responsible disclosure. He has collaborated closely with CIRT teams, system administrators, website developers, and government agencies to ensure the remediation of over 3,000 web-application vulnerabilities.[4]
Biography
Between September 2013 and November 2015, Kelley was able to break into the secure systems using an £800 computer he bought in his home town of Llanelli, Wales.[5][6]
Kelley was tracked down after being the target of three different police operations (Operation Purple Obsidian, Operation Falcon and Operation Belanos) and was subsequently arrested. He was arrested when agents from the Metropolitan Police, National Crime Agency and officers from the local Dyfed Powys Police turned up at the door of his home.[7][8][9]
In December 2016, Kelley pleaded guilty to 11 charges in total, including hacking with intent, six counts of blackmail, encouraging hacking, offering to supply data in connection with fraud, and possession of material for fraud.[10][11] He was sentenced to four years in prison.[12]
