A 12-YEAR-OLD boy is responsible for hacking government and police websites during a 2012 student uprising, a Canada court has heard.

The boy from Montreal, who cannot be named, created computer havoc and caused an estimated $60,000 damage, the Toronto Sun reports. His actions put some of the sites out of service for up to two days.

The fifth grade student was acting on behalf of activist hacker group Anonymous, but his actions were not politically motivated – he was trading the information in exchange for video games, the court heard.
