The laptop which Allsopp was using at the time of the offences has never been recovered. Two hackers have been jailed for eight months and 12 months for their involvement in the £ 77m ($99m) TalkTalk cyber attack in 2015 that affected 157,000 accounts. The company was fined £400,000 for failing to properly protect customer data and, while Matthew Hanley, 23, and Connor Allsopp, 21, did not initially expose the vulnerability, they used it to steal sensitive information belonging to 8,000 customers before passing it on for fraudulent use. A man who hacked into a British Airways flight from New York to London last year has pleaded guilty to charges of computer fraud.
