Arrest in Cisco Code Theft

Kozar_The_Malignant writes "The BBC is reporting that an arrest has been made in the case of the stolen Cisco code that was posted to the internet last May. Approximately 800 MB was posted to a Russian security website. No name has been released and details are rather thin."

    The old people are in jail from being caught when they were young.

    Russian officials have identified the suspect as a 75-year-old deranged homeless man named Dmitri. Dmitri has never seen a computer or even heard of computers or the internet, and upon being arrested declared himself to be the reincarnation of Czar Nicholas II. Russian authorities state that Dmitri is the ringleader of every single former Soviet-bloc hacking and IP theft operation, which he was running from a cardboard box under a freeway overpass, and once he's been put to death following a speedy closed-door non-jury trial, which takes place in about twenty minutes, all Russian-based criminal activity on the internet will cease. Officials are hailing the arrest as a triumph for the Russian criminal justice system and the dawning of a new era in East-West internet-based relations. Dmitri's friends, two of whom are imaginary, are protesting by wrapping themselves in some copper wire they found and then trading it for vodka.
