SINGAPORE — When Shaun Sinclair Lau Wei Kit saw a fellow Singapore Management University (SMU) student with her boyfriend on campus, he felt that the other man was taking advantage of her.

In a bid to"protect her", Lau hacked into the woman's boyfriend’s email account and then sent some of his personal documents to her, which led to the couple falling out.Apart from that, he used a now-defunct website to get leaked passwords, gained access to other people’s personal accounts and sold their sex videos for S$3,500.

Eleven other similar charges will be taken into consideration for sentencing, which is slated for Feb 15 next year.PIECED TOGETHER PASSWORD He also approached her at the SMU library and asked her to forget her boyfriend. By then, she had intended to lodge a police report against him. Lau found the victim’s email address and password on a website that hosted leaked account passwords, which has since been taken down by the US’ Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Lau proceeded to download the videos to his iPhone. In August 2017, he transferred the videos to an individual on Skype using an online file upload service, receiving S$3,500 for them. He used the website again to find her leaked password and managed to log into her email and Snapchat accounts, but did not find anything of interest.
