On May 23, 2006, a grand jury at the U.S. District Court in Illinois handed down an indictment against Jeremy Alexander Hammond for hacking into the ProtestWarrior server.
The indictment reads in part, "Between January and February 2005, defendant HAMMOND accessed ProtestWarrior.com's server without authority on multiple occasions in an effort to obtain information not otherwise available to him or the general public, specifically credit card numbers, home addresses, and other identifying information of the members and customers of ProtestWarrior.com."
The specific violation is of Title 18, US Code, Sections 1030 (a)(2)(c) and 2. Per our understanding of the law, Jeremy faces a possible fine and imprisonment for up to 5 years.
ProtestWarrior performed a forensic analysis of the intrusion and contacted the FBI, which immediately launched an investigation. With the collected evidence, the FBI was able to execute a search warrant on Jeremy's residence on March 16, 2005.
Hopefully he's small and wiry so he'll be real popular in prison.
I thought they liked them small and soft? Whichever, I do hope he's the belle of the ball.
Gonna start a tight end, end up a wide receiver.

Good one!
IN a few months he will get an entire new meaning to the phrase, you got male.
Well, I am sure he will enjoy it when his new roommate get around his firewall and penetrates his system.

Small and greasy. I've worked with people like this before. You don't want to touch their keyboard without rubber gloves.
Yep he's going to learn the real meaning of, "dude you got 0wn3d!" :)
