Internet Week > News > DoD Hacker Sentenced To 21 Months Hard Time > May 12, 2005
A 21-year old who broke into the Department of Defenses computers has been sentenced to 21 months of prison and fined 12,000 dollars. I hope that it persuades him to follow another line of work. In any case, it just goes to show - if the DoD can be hacked, so can anyone and all the more reason to be pro-active in trying to keep our computers free. MajorGeeks.com was even advertising a free keylogger today as if we needed more privacy invasive programs out there.
I wonder whether they will let this young man use a computer while he is in prison?
