Job Seeking Hacker Given 30 Months in Jail

If you think securing a job in IT is easy, you need to talk with admitted hacker Attila Nemeth about his misguided method of finding employment with Marriott International. You will have to go to Federal Prison to discuss the matter though; he’ll be there for the next two and a half years. Lesson to be learned here is never be too proud of your mad hacking skilz.

During the course of the "interview," Nemeth admitted that he accessed Marriott’s computer systems; stole Marriott’s confidential and proprietary information; and initiated the emails to Marriott threatening to publicly release Marriott’s data unless he was given a job on his terms by Marriott.
