A disgruntled employee who was fired from his job at Sky tried to blackmail the firm's chief executive and customers - threatening to leak data if they didn't pay him Bitcoin.
Imoudu Chaba, 37, sent letters from his home in Wythenshawe to several customers with pictures of their home addresses, which he threatened to post on the dark web if they didn't pay.
He also sent a letter to the firm's then chief executive Jeremy Darroch and shareholders, which promised to leak millions of customers' details if they didn't send him three Bitcoins - worth approximately £45,000 at the time.
