He hacked into the jail's computer system from inside.His action has caused a 'major panic' but until now,its not clear to what he got access.Michael Fox,the computer teacher,who was employed by the Kensington and Chelsea College,is being blamed for this action and was banned from prison.But on Friday,he started a claim for the unfair dismissal.He is arguing that he had no idea that Nicholas was a hacker.The hacking incident occurred in 2011 and has now come to light because the IT teacher is suing the college.
