Internet hacker sentenced
And he is one lucky bastard in my opinion.
Jeffrey Lee Parson, 19, of Hopkins, Minn., will serve his time at a low-security prison and must perform 10 months of community service. He had faced up to 10 years in prison, but the judge took pity on the teen, saying his neglectful parents were to blame for the psychological troubles that led to his actions.
“(The Internet) has created a dark hole, a dungeon if you will, for people who have mental illnesses or people who are lonely,” U.S. District Judge Marsha Pechman said. “I didn’t see any parent standing there saying, ‘It’s not a healthy thing to lock yourself in a room and create your own reality.’”
Woe be to this little prick had I been in charge his punishment. He would have gotten far worse than what those at Abu Ghraib received. A little more heavy on the torture than on the beating off, though. This guy probably already does plenty of that. Damn wanker.
Seriously though. The only thing that is going to curb the malicious hackers and spammers is severe deterrance in the way of stiff punishment. And I dont mean that kind of stiff punishment.
