A resident of Lebedyansky district of Lipetsk region appeared in court after trying to sell a hacked console Playstation. It is reported by the regional publication Gorod48.
The specific PlayStation model is not called and the details of what happened are also not specified, but it is known that the Russian was convicted under part 2 of article 273 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, which provides for punishment for “distributing computer programs known to be designed to block computer information and neutralize computer information protection tools, committed out of mercenary interest.” Now he will be forced to pay a fine of 20 thousand rubles.
Based on the information that got into the media, the news hero did not modify the prefix himself – he bought it hacked for personal use for 5 thousand rubles in the fall of 2019. Later, he decided to sell the device to another person for 7.5 thousand rubles, but he was “burnt out”. A criminal case was instituted against him.
It is noted that the modified PlayStation involved in the case allowed the launch of unlicensed software, which is a violation of the license agreement for system software and the terms of use of Sony Interactive Entertainment programs.
The prosecutor’s office indicated that the accused had given confession. The prefix was seized by law enforcement and destroyed.
