Thanks for the example of hacking penalties. I would imagine that substantial legal fees were also paid to negotiate such a deal.

I could personally think of a few more creative penalties for the hacking of web or blog sites.

A local tech group hacked into a former employer’s system to steal some customer contact data and got caught.

The designated “fall guy” pled guilty in a plea bargain deal and is now a convicted felon albeit a free one.

Still doing damage control on the back end. Never gave it much thought before, but I now join you in your opinion: It’s a serious crime that deserves legal attention.

I wonder if you will ever find out if they catch the creep and what the penalty will be. Glad you are back up and running.

I am putting out feelers with folk who might have an in of any sort at Google. This breach and attack seem to have occurred at an interesting time.

Now back to putting things back into order. This has been an absolute nightmare….

I’d prefer about 8 degrees of separation from jerks like this.

Too bad they don’t have a life.

After giving Mark Harrison’s comment some thought, I have decided that something short of a firing squad or a life strapped to a keyboard would be fair.

Grrrr!

VERY interesting. I wasn’t even aware of the repercussions of such an evil deed. Nice to know and hopefully the culprit will be caught.
