A teenage hacker who wrecked Christmas for millions of gamers after crippling the PlayStation and Xbox networks has been convicted of more than 50,000 offences. The 17-year-old – known as Zeekill – was part of the Lizard Squad hacking group which shut down online gaming platforms for several days last December. But despite being found guilty of 50,700 offences, he was handed a two-year suspended sentence by a court in Finland. The teenager, who has not been named because of his age, was also ordered to help tackle cyber crime as part of his rehabilitation. After the verdict, a Lizard Squad Twitter account boasted that the teenager had avoided a jail term.Boy, 17, was part of Lizard Squad hack group which causes chaos onlineHanded two-year suspended sentence and told to help tackle cyber crimeAttack left 160 million users unable to use their consoles over Christmas
