Re: [MLUG] Whoa! WiFi Hacker gets 9 years in the slammer

[Vern Green <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

Well I am normally very hard on crime and want to see people put away
for things like this, but I think this was a little extensive.

I realize the current climate of cracking and the money it is causing
business, but these guys had not really received anything. Now of
course, think of the damage that could have happened had they actually
gotten some numbers, but they were stopped before hand.

At any rate, they are probably eligible for parole in 2 years and when
they get out, the time did fit the crime.
