A 12-year old boy from Montreal, Canada has pleaded guilty to hacking into government websites in the name of hacker collective, Anonymous.

The report in the Toronto Sun says the boy's motives were not political but rather he handed information to Anonymous in exchange for video games.

The sites hijacked include those for the Montreal police, the Chilean government, the Quebec Institue of Public Helth as well as some other non-public sites. Police estimate the damage to the sites totals $60,000, with a more detailed report set to be produced in court when the boy is sentenced next month.
