A Sydney IT professional is facing prison time after pleading
guilty to criminal charges involving a scam that made him almost a
million dollars over a three-year period.
Software developer Evan McMahon's sophisticated scheme was
originally uncovered by the FBI, before being handed over to the
Australian Federal Police.
At the time of his arrest, the 23-year old was serving tens of
thousands of customers across the globe.
His websites - HyperGen, WickedGen, Autoflix and AccountBot -
offered subscribers a cheap way to access legitimate accounts for
Netflix, Spotify, Hulu, WWE Network, NordVPN, PlayStation Network,
as well as dozens of other subscription services.
