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.

Appeal? Appeal what? He GOT mostly what he deserves. 19 years would be better. Computer crime is NOT victimless crime.

Crime is crime. If you can't do the time, don't do the crime....
