Considering public nature of this exploit, Apple might put quite some effort to carefully investigate the incident.
- elmuchoprez 14y agoThe kid who hacked Sarah Palin's email got a year in jail. He was convicted of "the felony of anticipatory obstruction of justice by destruction of records and a misdemeanor of unauthorized access to a computer." [wikipedia] The guy who hacked Honan is certainly guilty of the misdemeanor (which could wind you up in jail) and depending on what he erased and how they want to interpret his motives, he could be guilty of the same felony.
