What happened to the "Computer Hackers" that went to prison years ago?
Edited on Thu Nov-18-04 05:21 AM by GingerSnaps
Would there be a way of checking and finding out if they have been released and what company they are working for now? I don't remember their names but it wasn't that many. Is there any way of finding out?

Why do I ask this? Because the hackers that were put away were the best hackers in the country. I am a little curious if they might be working for the * Crime Dynasty right now. :shrug:

I know that a bunch of hackers went to jail about 10 years ago. They should have been out by now.

I'm just curious.

3. I believe that one of the hackers was around 17
It was during the Raygun Dynasty era.

5. One guy worked for the Government

Another one hacked into University Computers and then another one hacked into the Utility Company's.

If a theif wants some illegal work done what better place then a prison to look for someone to do the job? If you were sitting in prison and you had 20 years to go I bet you would jump at the chance to do anything to get out.

6. just my humble opinion
but, the "best hackers in the country" are not likely to ever be discovered. The people that get caught are the sloppy ones, or the ones that get way to greedy and can't stop.
