Exactly. What a huge crime. Nail that economy destroying terrorist!
This shouldn't even be a criminal matter. |

Re: Wait for it.....
Someone logged in to the vendor's site using the company ID/pwd, changing the shipping address and password before exiting. If Shirley Reid was authorized to use the account, I don't see how this is considered criminal. The vendor called her boss when they realized that the shipping address was fake (the same day). Resetting the password probably only took a couple minutes. The boss is assuming the woman did the deed but has no proof, except for the IP that the vendor logged. Second-degree computer theft (10yrs behind bars) for this? Insane! |

said by TScheisskopf :On the other hand, it would be nice to know what exactly this woman did to earn her such aggressive prosecutorial interest. She got into an argument with her boss, and while pissed off, she logged into a supplier's website for the business, and changed his password so he couldn't log in.
They are going after her under various computer crimes laws, but really, it's way overblown.
