Matthew Weigman, better known as L'il Hacker, may be put away for up to thirteen years. His crimes include fooling Swat teams into bursting into rivals homes. Also causing cops to detain the father of a girl who refused to have phone sex with him. And eavesdropping on Sprint customer support calls to steal credit card numbers.
Apparently, there's a whole underground subculture of "phreakers", "swatters" and "party lines". Here's the latest news report, and here's a more detailed story on him and his scene. Fascinating stuff. Anyone else see a movie deal in the offing?
