According to the Macro box, the actual perpetrators cannot be determined although a blogger has been traced to have provided the online guide to successfully hack the Macro box server not to mention that it has likewise recorded several attempts to invade its system.

Under the foregoing circumstances, the blogger by providing online guidance to direct the computer attack or server intrusion and all those persons who may have conspired and confederated with the blogger may be held liable under the Computer Misuse Act 1990 (CMA) as amended by the Police and Justice Act 2006 (JPA) and Serious Crime Act 2007 (SCA) where the following acts were defined as unlawful or criminal acts—unauthorized access to computer material. unauthorized access with intent to commit a further offense. and unauthorized modification of computer material.
