Laptop Thief Caught via AOL Login

Posted by michael on from the you've-got-jail dept.

Mundocani writes "Yahoo (Reuters) is reporting that the FBI has caught the guy who stole computers from Wells Fargo. The interesting part is that 'Investigators traced the computer to Krastof when he logged onto his own America Online account at home through one of the stolen computers.' Makes you wonder what sort of hooks the FBI has into AOL or other ISPs and what hardware identification is being transmitted at login."

    Don't look now, but I think your social security number is etched into your butt plug.

    Better clench down hard and try to abrade it off.
