26-year-old Aleksanteri Kivimäki, who poses as a friendly son-in-law type, is charged in the district court in Espoo, Finland, with stealing and extorting patient data from a psychiatric hospital. His criminal past dates back to his youth, when he was active in hacker groups and even took over servers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Despite countless evidence, he denies the accusations and shows no remorse. Kivimäki was sentenced to six years and three months in prison.

He looks like every mother-in-law’s dream: tall, lanky, blond and often with a smile on his boyish face. But the story of 26-year-old Aleksanteri Kivimäki sounds more like a futuristic nightmare. A boy who grew up on the internet of gamers and nerds. It’s a world where names and marital identities don’t matter; everyone appears under varying pseudonyms. Sitting in front of the monitor, it is apparently also possible to forget that these are real people whom you are blackmailing, deceiving and sometimes destroying.
