Prison hacker who tried to free friend now likely to join him inside
A Michigan man who hacked into his local prison's computing system to gain early release for a friend is facing his own time inside after getting caught.
Konrads Voits, 27, pled guilty to hacking charges after installing malware on the Washtenaw County government computer system in an attempt to get a friend released early from prison. The attempt was unsuccessful and the police caught him, ensuring that he may well be joining his mate in the Big House.
"Cyber intrusions affect individuals, businesses and governments," said United States Attorney Daniel Lemisch.
