Скачать или смотреть The Teen Hacker Who Shook America: Cybercrime, Bomb Threats & Global Fallout

In this Civitas Global report, we uncover the disturbing story of Julius Kivimäki, a Finnish teenager whose cyberattacks disrupted American infrastructure, triggered military responses, and exposed thousands of private medical records. Known online as “Zeekill,” Kivimäki was a key member of the hacking group Lizard Squad, responsible for taking down PlayStation Network and Xbox Live during the 2014 holiday season.

From bomb threats that diverted U.S. Air Force flights to the mass extortion of psychotherapy patients, his actions reveal the global stakes of digital vulnerability. Despite the scale of his crimes, legal consequences were limited—raising urgent questions about international cyber law, youth accountability, and digital ethics. This is not just a story about hacking. It’s a wake-up call for governments, platforms, and citizens alike.
