Long prison term for Lowe's wi-fi hacker
Kevin Poulsen, SecurityFocus 2004-12-16

A 21-year-old Michigan man was sentenced to nine years in federal prison Wednesday in federal court in Charlotte, North Carolina for his role in a failed scheme to steal credit card numbers from the Lowe's chain of home improvement stores by taking advantage of an unsecured wi-fi network at a store in suburban Detroit.

The guy should seriously consider not dicking around with data that isn't his.

Besides being a criminal he's obviously not a very smart criminal. Let's see...Dumb AND a crook...what a dangerous combination.

I'm glad his hide is out of commission for a while.
