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."

Juvie record and the restriction on computer usage is for two years after his sentence. Since we basically don't know squat about him it is possible that all of this is moot and he gets a fresh start by the time he's 18. And I hate to sound crude but I don't see what prevents the kid from humping a pack, shooting a rifle, driving a vehicle, working a mess hall or whatever. Not everything the military does depends on being able to work on a computer or device with Internet access.
