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."

See you guys in 2 years!

I hear he's expecting to get rooted

Re:I hear he's expecting to get rooted

[Cerdic]

But he's not allowed to use a computer! What kind of possible rooting could he experience in prison? It's not like he has a computer in his cell or in the shower room or anything.

What about her crimes????

[NerdBuster]

Paris should get 11 years for her acting ability and general ability to annoy people.

Radisson?

[alexhohio]

Can he stay at a hilton?

Is it just me?

[Mz6]

Or did I completely miss the story about the kid getting busted for this?

Cue the apologists

[14erCleaner]

I'm sure we'll now hear that this poor kid's untapped potential for technical greatness is being stifled. Cry me a river. The kid sounds like a felon-in-training to me.

Maybe during his probation period he should be required to listen to Paris Hilton's commentaries on current events, nonstop.

Many mistakes in article

The numbers included those of rapper Eminem, actor Vin Diesel, singers Christina Aguilera and Ashlee Simpson, and tennis players Andy Roddick and Anna Kournikova.

I count at least 4 mistakes in this one sentence alone!

Script Kiddies.....

We present your leader. All bow to the alpha kiddie.

Congratulations, son.

[ChrisF79]

Congratulations! You just earned yourself a high paying security job with the United States government. We are all very impressed with your unusual interview. See you in two years.

As far as I can tell, the only person whose rights were in any danger was Paris Hilton...

No, it's Paris Hilton *and* everyone in her address book! That may not include dweebs like you, but the average Slashbot certainly has to be concerned about having his personal information get in the hands of the paparazzi.

It's true - those bastards at the Enquirer never come around any more, since I stopped having drug-fueled weekend-long threesomes with Jennifer Aniston and Gwyneth Paltrow. sniff

the ATF doesn't hire drunk smokers w/ unregistered firearm violations

Huh, no wonder they don't return my calls. Oh well, I guess I can always fall back on AOL tech support...

I admire him. Anything bad that happens to that filthy whore the better. I'm not one to encourage the moral degredation of society.

Oh man. You condemn hedonism as immoral and then condone another sort of bad behavior, all in the same breath. Way to go, Socrates.

"Hacking"

[pete-classic]

Hacking Paris Hilton's box would seem to be its own punishment. One is sure to contract a virus.

Re:Maybe t-mobile will learn.

[soft_guy]

Maybe T-mobile will get their act together now and fix all the problems

I wish they would. I have several problems for them to solve.

First, I have a stomach ache. Once they solve that, then I need them to solve the energy crisis. And I have an application my intern wrote that has a lot of bugs in it they could fix.

damn haxors

"Computer hacking is not fun and games. Hackers cause real harm to real victims," U.S Attorney Michael Sullivan said in the statement. "Would-be hackers...should be put on notice that such criminal activity will not be tolerated." ....or not. i mean i know the companies are blameless for having a really obvious security hole up, but these kids should be put to death if they are the ones to find it and just mess around, instead of someone doing it and causing REAL harm

Two years aint that bad...

[Pao|o]

By the time he comes out he could buy himself an Intel-based Mac and easily relearn computers all over again.

Less likely to be the end days, but more likely to be the end of intelligence.

Hilton hacked....isn't there a video of this?

[FerretFrottage]

At this point, who hasn't "hacked" Paris Hilton? Oh, wait, I see, this is about her phone. Well at least with the phone you can put a lock in it to prevent its use; can't really say the same for her.

Why bother?

[Guppy06]

His life is so devoid of meaning that he hacked the handheld of some rich strumpet that everybody now knows isn't even a good lay. Isn't that punishment enough?

No, it actually means the opposite... so your penis is shrinking *bursts out crying*

A person who uses sex to get attention also isn't happy.

Unless the attention they want is sexual. After all, my Wife uses sex to get my attention from time to time, and she seems quite happy when I'm done.
