Pirate Bay co-founder Gottfrid Svartholm Warg was found guilty in Denmark for hacking servers belonging to U.S. IT firm CSC.

The charges filed against Warg for a hacking attack happened in 2012. Within the months that Warg and an accomplice broke into CSC servers, the two managed to get their hands on Danish public databases, accessing hundreds and thousands of criminal records, social security numbers, and even extradition agreements.

As evidence, the prosecution provided CSC documents that were found on Warg's computer, as well as IRC chat logs between the two involved using "My Evil Twin" and "Advanced Persistent Terrorist Threat" as handles. In the chat logs, Warg and his 21-year-old accomplice, a Dane that the court declined to name, were discussing CSC's security systems. Authorities asserted that "My Evil Twin" was Warg.

However, his Danish accomplice, despite refusing to cooperate with the authorities by providing his computer encryption keys, testified that he had already met "My Evil Twin" and it was not Warg.

Warg's defense team is arguing that the Pirate Bay founder was framed. While evidence may have been found in his computer, he had no hand in the hacking. Warg himself was a hacking victim. Someone hijacked his computer, using it as a proxy to get to CSC's servers.

The prosecution said this was impossible but Jacob Applebaum, noted security expert and Tor developer, argued the possibility exists, testifying for the defense. To complement Applebaum's testimony, Warg's defense team provided the court with a copy of an antivirus scan showing the defendant's computer had 545 threats, some of which were more than capable of offering a hacker access to remotely control his computer.

At least two jury members acknowledged the possibility of Warg's computer being hacked and so voted to acquit him. However, this was not enough.

Warg has been convicted of hacking into CSC servers and will be sentenced Friday.

"The punishment should be close to the maximum punishment, which can be six years in prison. It shouldn't be under five years," said senior prosecutor Maria Cingari.

Warg was living in Cambodia before being extradited first to Sweden, where he served his sentence for another hacking charge, then to Denmark. He has already spent 11 months in a Danish prison since then.

In 2009, Warg and other Pirate Bay founders were found guilty of copyright violations.
