Hilton Hacker Gets 11 Months

B747SP writes "Well, the guy who 'acquired' the contents of Paris Hilton's Sidekick telephone and published them on the Internet has had his day in court. T-Mobile USA and the State of Massachusetts are pleased to report that he has been sentenced to 11 months in a juvenile facility. He's also not allowed to own or use a computer, a cellphone, or any other device that can access the Internet for two years. It turns out that the Hilton hack was just one of many Bad Things(tm) that he had been up to: calling in bomb threats to schools, creating T-Mobile accounts for himself and his friends, breaking in to data broker LexisNexis' systems are just a few of his exploits."

Well deserved

Both Hilton and the boy got what they deserved. She's dirty and he's a delinquent. Just because he targeted someone worth targeting doesn't mean he should go free, an example must be made. Atleast he wasn't jailed for some outrageous amount of time, like some people do for small crimes compared to others who do really bad crimes.

Serves him right.

I was already tired of seeing her nude before the hack. That man owes me serious headspace.

Congratulations. Becuase you were unable to confront a child three years ago, he's now in jail. Sleep tight.
