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.

Lowe's hasn't 'lost' a dime. They will 'hopefully' fire their stinkin incompetent network security cruds and do what SHOULD have already been done to secure OUR data.

With that said, the scumbag that did this deserves 19 years....
