Hacker Skylar Dalziel managed to get into a number of cloud storage accounts used by the music industry and steal forty tracks, including songs from Coldplay and Shawn Mendez.

She made over forty grand selling them on the dark web, but was caught…

…and has been let off without a real sentence by getting 21 months imprisonment, suspended for 24 months. She also has to do 180 hours of unpaid work.

Detective Constable Daryl Fryatt said the sentencing “sends a clear message that we have the ability and tools to locate cyber criminals and hold them to account for their actions”.

The first part yes, the second part no.
