LONDON – A man claiming allegiance to the Internet activist group Anonymous has admitted hacking into the website of a major British abortion provider.
James Jeffery appeared at a London court Saturday to admit two offences under the Computer Misuse Act.
The 27-year-old was arrested Friday for breaking into the website of the British Pregnancy Advisory Service, which has around 40 clinics and other centres across the country.
The service said Jeffery wasn’t able to access medical information about women who had sought treatment from the non-profit, but he stole about 9,000 records of people who had made inquiries through the website.
Police said they took swift action to prevent the personal information from being leaked to the Internet.
