Hacker Resells VOIP For Profit

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the lots-and-lots-of-profit dept.

uncleO writes "The New York Times tells the story of today's arrest of Edwin Andres Pena, 23, who 'hacked into computers run by an unsuspecting investment company in Rye Brook, N.Y., commandeered its unprotected servers, and re-routed his phone traffic through them,' then 'used more than $1 million he received from his customers to go on a spending spree, buying real estate in south Florida, a 40-foot Sea Ray Mercruiser motor boat, and luxury cars including a BMW and a Cadillac Escalade.'"

    WOW if an SUV causes you that much grief I can only imagine the seizure you must have when a semi is involved. I am sick of the anti SUV crowd crying about how big SUVs are when there are much larger vehicles. Its called learn to drive and/or shut the hell up.
