The page ignores ransomware attacks
editNo mention of ransomware attacks. No mention of any computer criminals that deploy ransomware. Zain Qaiser is the only computer criminal mentioned on the Ransomware Wikipedia page. This seems like gross omission. I was looking for a list of criminals who deploy ransomware, looks that we only know of one. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tadamsmar (talk • contribs) 02:14, 18 June 2021 (UTC)
Excessive Access?
editIn addition to unauthorized access, the US governemnt acknowleges "excessive access". See "Four Indicted in $25 Million Scheme Defrauding and Hacking Ticketmaster, Tickets.com, and Other Ticket Vendors", http://www.ibls.com/internet_law_news_portal_view.aspx?s=sa&id=1871. Apparently, "excessive access" will ellicit a PATRIOT Act like response from the US government. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.244.118.111 (talk) 06:58, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

- Was he ever arrested and convicted? This article is, List of convicted computer criminals -- Esemono (talk) 00:41, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
Max Vision anyone? --66.50.5.126 (talk) 22:22, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
- Is there an article about him or the crime? Due to space and sourcing concerns, this list can only include notable individuals. --Gimme danger (talk) 22:31, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
- There are a lot of articles about him all over the web. And I would say if you get sentenced to 13 years in prison that is kind of notable.--

TIDDES
editA search shows as of May 6, 2009 he is still incarcerated at MCI Concord, where he is offender ID W93963.[1]
- Just to let you know, I took out this sentence because it wasn't part of the original penalty and thus didn't fit into the table, because it constitutes, in my opinion, original research, and because it's a needless violation of the subject's privacy. We have no way of knowing that this isn't a database error and if he is still in prison, it's probably due to behavioral violations while incarcerated and — really the only important bit in this ramble — it doesn't fit into the table. This sentence is in the corresponding biographical article though, with the reference. --Gimme danger (talk) 22:44, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
- That's a good point. Great job on the copy edit by the way. -- Esemono (talk) 01:50, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
- Thank you. I'm going to come back in a day or so to make sure I didn't miss anything. --Gimme danger (talk) 03:25, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

Inconsistencies
editIt seems like there are inconsistencies between some of the list items and the specific articles. For example, the 414s table entry (Wondra) says he was convicted of hacking and harassing phone calls, but the article on the 414s is written such that it seemed that Wondra and another defendant were convicted only on the charge of harassing calls. I noticed others while I was copyediting, but didn't note them at the time. (The only one that I remember clearly was the claim of the longest sentence ever coming from a five year old source.) This is a pretty cool article on an interesting topic, but I think it needs a run over by someone to make sure that everything in it passes the sniff test. --Gimme danger (talk) 01:28, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
- Gave it a good sniffing and cleared up any confusion. -- Esemono (talk) 00:22, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

editDoes anyone know the exact date he was sentenced? I know that he started his jail term on, "January 7, 1994, Mark Abene aka Phiber Optik began serving [his] sentence at the Schuylkill federal prison in Pennsylvania."[1] But when did the judge, The Honorable Louis L. Stanton[2], sentence him? -- Esemono (talk) 02:15, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

Sortable dates
editIt would be great to be able to sort by the dates of conviction. I wanted to see how the nature of the crimes change over time. Maybe put the year first and then month-day? Example: 2012, Nov 11
- You can already sort by sentencing date. Ruslik_Zero 08:13, 22 February 2020 (UTC)
Randal Schwartz
editI leave this here, in case anyone is looking for Randal Schwartz. His conviction appears to have been "expunged", so I suppose it would not be appropriate to add him to the table. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.191.69.200 (talk) 17:33, 11 December 2024 (UTC)
