What a jackass.

Have fun in jail.

Maybe he can continue doing "arithmetic" in jail, where he can mark off the days by making scratches on the wall.

Just prior to the judge's reading of the sentence, Auernheimer was cuffed by agents in a struggle over his tablet. Under the terms of his pre-sentence parole, Auernheimer was unable to use a computer with a keyboard. 

I wonder which "tablet" he was using? I would guess an Android tablet.

That's similar to Kevin Mitnick:

He was sentenced to 46 months in prison plus 22 months for violating the terms of his 1989 supervised release sentence for computer fraud.

I don't know for sure, but if it was an iPad, then why wouldn't it say that in the text which I quoted?

The usage of the word tablet leads me to believe that there is a greater possibility that it was something like an Android tablet instead. And also, I believe that criminal, hacker types of people, the kind who are losers and likes to tinker with things instead of doing anything actually useful are more attracted to an anything goes platform, such as Android.

This is a serious injustice. He queried a publicly accessible database at AT&T and it freely gave him the email addresses. Anyone could have done it. He's paying the penalty for AT&T's own lack of security.

That's like saying you are allowed to take money out of a companies cash register because it popped open once you paid for something, or steal a car because you found the keys on the street.

Auernheimer and 27-year-old Daniel Spitler (who accepted a plea bargain last year) wrote a script that randomly pinged AT&T's website with ICC-IDs

So if you drop your ATM card on the street, and I pick it up and figure out your pin code, it's ok for me to access your account?

This dipshit intentionally went and stole the info of 114,000 iOS users. Yes, AT&T was lax in their security, but that is no excuse for thievery.

I once read the internet speed is slowed down by ~30% because there is so much anti-virus, anti-spyware, etc., needed to protect us from goofballs like this.

See you in 4 years....dude....
