The 19-Year-Old Blind “Little Hacker” Gets 135 Months in Federal Prison For “Swatting”
Hi folks,
I was reading a book entitled Teen cyberbullying investigated: where do your rights end and consequences begin? and in chapter 15, it talked about a case that deeply effected me. On podcast 62 which was released on May 24, 2008 goes in to details including other articles. While the blog itself doesn’t have the articles anymore, this podcast may still be of use. The 19-Year-Old Blind “Little Hacker” Gets 135 Months in Federal Prison For “Swatting” is the article which is the latest in this case. This is great news! Swatting from Wikipedia may be of help. You can also search wired and other sites for the articles in this podcast. I never knew that there were guilty pleas, and I can’t seem to find my logs of Matt calling me as I had kept them for the longest time. I publically want to thank all the investigators who were able to convict this guy, and as I’ve said, it doesn’t matter whether you are blind or not, the law will catch up with you. The book says he got 11 years in jail, and that may not be enough for what he is capable of.
Other things of interest:
Matthew Weigman (wikipedia)
download the 157mb podcast 62 which is the reference after we were given permission to talk about it.
The investigator made it clear to this network to not talk about what is happening until the purp is arrested. We did just that. This podcast was taped and released after the arrest. Once again, I want to thank everyone for their hard work in this case, and I’m glad I read this book. It was enlightening, and eye opening. I was not surprised to hear about Matthew Weigman in this book, to be honest.
