He didn't do anything special to get into JSTOR. Essentially he was
web scraping with a bunch of different user-names and passwords.
What about trespassing in and tampering with MIT's network closet?
- nkassis 15y agoIs that really a federal crime? the trans passing part? I would think that would be a rather minor thing.
- gavinlynch 15y agoTo the "so what, he just trespassed. You don't get the FBI involved for trespassing." If they just found him randomly wandering the halls where he should not be, obviously the FBI would not be involved. If they see him entering the network cages in order to mirror an asset worth $1.5 million dollars to his personal storage devices... I think they take the trespassing a bit more seriously and in a different context :p
- ohyes 15y agoTrespass still wouldn't be a federal offense, it would be a state issue. He isn't being charged with trespass.
