  • But as these businesses have grown and gained popularity, security issues have also surfaced. Fears over identity theft, account theft, phishing (typically sending out fake e-mails that copy the appearance of trustworthy Web sites in order to dupe unsuspecting customers into giving out sensitive information) or buying faulty or broken products have always been a problem for eBay.

    A former security researcher turned criminal hacker has been sentenced to 13 years in federal prison for hacking into financial institutions and stealing credit card account numbers. Max Ray Butler, who used the hacker pseudonym Iceman, was sentenced Friday morning in U.S. District Court in Pittsburgh on charges of wire fraud and identity theft. In addition to his 13-year sentence, Butler will face five years of supervised release and must pay US$27.5 million in restitution to his victims, according to Assistant U.S. Attorney Luke Dembosky, who prosecuted the case for the federal government. Dembosky believes the 13 year sentence is the longest-ever handed down for hacking charges.
