Hacker jailed for £ 50,000 phone fraud

A British computer hacker has been jailed for tricking British Telecom's telephone system out of £51,000 of international telephone calls to feed his obsession for computer games.

Paul Turner, 16, described by his barrister as " extremely gifted" and a "social isolate", used a technique known as "blue boxing" to trick international phone exchanges into giving him free international calls.

During a three-month period he spent over 1,100 hours connected to the Internet via a telephone number in Indonesia, accessed through a lengthy chain of international exchanges that began by calling a freephone number from Norwich.

Tuner's defence barrister explained to Southwark Crown Court that the calls remained free until the final connection was completed in the destination country and said Turner was all but oblivious to the fact that what he ws doingwas illegal.

The teenage hacker used a series of audible signals to fool the telephone exchanges into thinking the calls he made had ended when in fact had not.

BT's fraud investigation department eventually realised that a huge number of calls were being made on this part of the 0800 service from an address in Norwich. By the time Turner had been arrested, BT had lost out to the tune of £51,854.19.

Passing sentence, Judge Christopher Hardy said while immediate prison was unavoidable for such "sustained and sophisticated" offending, he did not want to interfere with the resumption of Turner's studies September.

The sentence was cut to eight weeks, or four weeks with good behaviour.
