??? John Kenneth Schiefer, a hacker damaged 250000 computers causing
immense loss and anguish to the owners, but will get off the hook due
to membership in the jewish khazar ashkenazi tribe which blackmails
all top politicians and controls the banks and the media ???

Just consider that every hacked computer costs ATLEAST 1 week of work,
immense headache, often money to the victims.

Is he smart? No because he was a security consultant.

Ex-security pro to plead guilty to running huge botnet

Security consultant John Schiefer, 26, has agreed to plead guilty to
four counts of fraud and wiretap charges. U.S. federal prosecutors
claim he operated a 250,000 PC botnet by night, which he used to steal
information and money from users of PayPal.

In the first botnet persecution of its kind in the United States,
Schiefer is facing the statutory maximum fine of $1.75 million and up
to 60 years in prison.

According to ZDNet UK:

    The malicious software developed by Schiefer accessed the Windows
system feature "Protected Store," which encrypts and stores passwords
for online accounts. Investigators are yet to determine the full
amount of money stolen from victim's accounts.

    Schiefer also distributed software on behalf of a Dutch internet-
advertising company, Simpel Internet. He installed the software on
150,000 computers, netting him $19,000 in commissions, but did so
without users' consent.

He is expected to be arraigned on December 3.

Now, 60 years in the slammer is a long time. While it doesn't excuse
the crime, the fact is that the botnet created by Schiefer is
considered relatively small compared to other botnets, such as the
notorious Storm worm with an estimated 20 million infected PCs.

If he gets 60 years, does this mean that the mastermind of the Storm
worm deserves multiple life sentences? Also, do you think what
Schiefer did has tarnished the IT profession in any way?

As an IT professional yourself, what is your opinion of this matter?
