AndrewM1 writes "In what may serve as a cautionary tale for people who use computers in public areas, Douglas Boudreau allegedly installed keystroke-monitoring software on more than 100 computers at Boston College and then watched as thousands of people sent e-mail, downloaded files and banked online. He then stole $2000 with the information he gleamed."

    Yeah, I know! He should have stolen millions, lied about it, gave money to the Bush campaign, and he'd have never gotten arrested!
