Hacker breaks into T-Mobile
Tuesday, January 18th, 2005Security Focus has an interesting story about a hacker who broke into T-Mobil network, stole secrete documents from the Secrete Service and more..
The same source also offers an explanation for the secrecy surrounding the case: the Secret Service, the source says, has offered to put the hacker to work, pleading him out to a single felony, then enlisting him to catch other computer criminals in the same manner in which he himself was caught. The source says that Jacobsen, facing the prospect of prison time, is favorably considering the offer.
The moral of this story is as long as the Secrete Service is stupid enough to transmit sensitive information across public networks, you can always break the law by stealing said information, selling it and expect to recieve a job offer after you get caught.
