T-Mobile Cracker Grounded for a Year

That's right, cracker. Not hacker. Oh, you silly journalists, please stop enabling the misuse of hacker. A hacker hacks together code, while a cracker cracks into a supposedly secure network/server/etc. Now with that out of the way, the sentencing of a 23 year old cracker was held on Monday in Los Angeles. Nicholas Lee Jacobsen, previously of Santa Ana, California, was sentenced to a year of house detention. No word on whether he was also banned from computer access in true Zero Cool fashion.

In 2004, Jacobsen cracked into the T-Mobile network, accessing the personal information of 400 customers. One of which was Special Agent Peter Cavicchia, of the Secret Service. Clearly poor choice to mess with, Jacobsen was able to read through sensitive materials the Agent accessed through his Sidekick. No investigations were jeopardized.

"I did some very stupid things," Jacobsen told U.S. District Judge George King at his sentencing Monday in Los Angeles.



Yes, I'd have to agree. I mean, if you really need to flex those 1337 muscles, at least avoid messing with members of the Secret Service.

In addition to a year of home detention, Jacobsen must also pay $10,000 to T-Mobile to cover losses by his antics. The maximum sentence one could face for this crime is 5 years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000. Thankfully, Jacobsen's youth and lack of sound decision making skills aided in his case.

I thought this was about some new Motorola phone for T-Mobile and I was going to tell you it should be spelled, "Crakr."


Oh well.

Totally amusing that he compromised info on a Secret Service officer's PDA..considering one duty of the Secret Service is computer fraud investigation.

This word caused me some trouble today - I was trying to have a serious conversation about someone having a 'below knee amputation'.

You started it by calling that poor man a "cracker". You should be ashamed of yourself, Posh.
