Wi-Fi-Hacking Neighbor From Hell Sentenced to 18 Years

http://j.mp/pNQF3J  (Wired)

    "A Minnesota hacker prosecutors described as a "depraved criminal" was
     handed an 18-year prison term Tuesday for unleashing a vendetta of
     cyberterror that turned his neighbors' lives into a living nightmare.
     Barry Ardolf, 46, repeatedly hacked into his next-door neighbors'
     Wi-Fi network in 2009, and used it to try and frame them for child
     pornography, sexual harassment, various kinds of professional
     misconduct and to send threatening e-mail to politicians, including
     Vice President Joe Biden."
