| Hacker in Calif gets what he deserves »news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060124/ap_···bmNhdA--
Under a plea agreement, which still must be approved by a judge, Ancheta faces up to 6 years in prison and must pay the federal government restitution. He also will forfeit his profits and a 1993 BMW.
A 20-year-old hacker admitted Monday to surreptitiously seizing control of hundreds of thousands of Internet-connected computers, using the zombie network to serve pop-up ads and renting it to people who mounted attacks on Web sites and sent out spam.
Good!! One of these spam enabling low lifes got what is coming to them. I hope he enjoys 6 yrs in a federal prison and that he doesn't end up in a Club Fed facility but in a real prison.

| He should be put away for 10 years. And work in a computing help desk environment for Gateway and Dell (that should be punishment enough!) 
Why the FTC doesn't go after the money is just the crime here. Who the F--- is paying for these crap4crap ads? Those crap-design-I-would-never-click banners for mortgage rates or those punch-the-Jesus ads or even anything that blinks faces ultimate demise from adBlock extension.
Again, who thinks they are getting revenue from some bozo's list of "these IPs visited your site so you owe me"... the only folks making any money aren't the ones that should be.
"computer use and ownership should be licensed. Users must pass an annual test from the manufacturer!" -some dweeb |
