A Turkish court has sent a hacker to jail for 30 years. Maksym Yastremski (better known as Maksik) earlier gained attention when sold credit and debit card information of top online sellers. According to US prosecutors, Maksik earned  $11 million during 2004 to 2006 by selling the stolen information. Though Maksik was not sentenced to jail for any of these charges, he was sent to jail for carrying out numerous hack attacks on various banks in Turkey.
