"I know I have done something very wrong"

Convicted cyberthief Jason Smathers told U.S. District Judge Alvin Hellerstein of his culpability in a dramatic case involving the theft of 92 million AOL screen names. "I know I have done something very wrong" were the words of the 25 year old who has no doubt caused untold misery to countless users and parents victimized by pornography and other unwelcome items in their inboxes. Amazingly, he only faced 24 months under the law (hello? come again?), and the judge gave him a relatively mild 15 months in the slammer. SPN hopes that stricter penalties will be passed by lawmakers in the future.
