Law not on side of Ameritech hacker
Earlier this month when a Michigan computer hacker accessed information about customers' phone bills from Ameritech's Web site, he publicized the security breach and was sued by the SBC Communications Inc. unit. A federal judge then issued a temporary injunction, effectively shutting down the site.
The hacker, Keith Kimmel, of Niles, Mich., vows to be in court later this week to fight the shutdown of his site (www.ameritechcable.com, which is no longer accessible) but the law may go against him, says the security director of a local technology services firm.
