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."

    Slashdot readers prefered to jump at their own shadows invoking the specter of big brother when confronted with light reading, common off the shelf technology, and old fashioned stupidity.

    Stay tuned for our expose on how Allen Shepard and OJ Simpson faked the moon landings with secret UFO technology from Area 51, and why they never returned some absucted hillbilly's to their natural cow pasture habitats.

    Later, how and why those hillbilly's convinced a secret goverment cabal headed by Dean Stockwell to nuke Japan.

    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.
