Wardriving guilty plea in Lowe's wi-fi case

Damage vs. Sentence 2004-08-12

Think for a moment about the relation between the actual harm (six credit card numbers stolen, none of them used, and the cost for the company for intrusion analysis and cleanup/repair of their systems - maybe other backdoors installed) versus sentence - 10 years up.

This is US-American madness.

The life of a person is worth nothing in your country.

Nobody seems to be able to imagine what 10 years of prison means, especially for a young person, and nobody seems to realize what this does to your country.
