A teenager who tricked his way into obtaining the email and phone accounts of senior US intelligence officials has been sentenced.
Kane Gamble, 18, targeted CIA, FBI and US Department of Justice databases from his bedroom in Leicestershire.
The Old Bailey was told Gamble, who has admitted a number of charges, damaged the "effectiveness" of the wider law enforcement community.
He will serve two years at a youth detention centre.
