Dan Swanson sent me this news story (thanks Dan!), which gave me a chuckle…
“Employee Fined $13,000 for Drunken Hacking”
A rather interesting part of his judgment:
“Fortunately for Mr. DiBlasio, he only has to pay $13,096 in monthly installments of at least $250 as well as spend six months under house arrest followed by three years of probation. On top of wearing an electronic monitoring device, DiBlasio “will not be allowed to have a cordless telephone, an answering machine, or any other ‘special services’ related to telecommunications,” the judge ruled.”
I wonder…if he had been hacking sober, would his fine have been more…or less? 🙂
