ARTICLE SNIPPET: "A Metairie man who sent an e-mail virus that reprogrammed computers across the country to send out bogus 911 calls was sentenced to six months in prison and ordered to pay $27,000 in damages to Microsoft Corp., authorities said.
David Jeansonne, 44, pleaded guilty in February to intentionally damaging computers and causing a threat to public safety, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of California, where the case was prosecuted.
The 18 victims of the virus were subscribers to Microsoft-owned WebTV, now called MSN TV. The virus was sent as an e-mail attachment accompanied by a note that said the attached file would enable them to change the colors on their WebTV screen. Instead, the file reprogrammed the computer to dial 911 rather than the number for WebTV's dial-up Internet access."
