Used keystroke logging to steal identities
Friday, 16 May 2008, 15:59
AN OREGAN MAN has pleaded guilty to selling more than a million US dollars worth of pirated software on online auction sites. It has been estimated that the pirate trousered around $400,000 in personal profit.
Jeremiah Mondello set up thousands of online auctions using more than 40 stolen identities which he obtained by using a programme which replicated passwords and user names by recording keystrokes.
Mondello, who has also been charged with aggravated identity theft, and mail fraud faces up to 27 years in chokey when he is sentenced in July. ยต

so let's see if I can make use of a calculator here...

Uhm... 27 years max...so he probably will get like 15...a third for good behavious & a third on probation...thats 5, 5 years.

5 years = 60 months. 

$400k devided by 60 = 6666.666~

So assuming he gets to keep the money it was worth it. 
Although with those numbers you have to wonder if it's just a cruel joke.
Either, he is a man from the state of OREGON, or he's made of spices, and is an OREGANO man. Which is it?
