9 indicted on charges of accessing Obama records





Busted:

DES MOINES, Iowa —Nine people have been indicated in federal court on charges they accessed President Barack Obama’s student loan records while employed for a Department of Education contractor in Iowa. [...]

They are accused of gaining access to a computer
at a Coralville, Iowa, office where they worked between July 2007 and March 2009, and accessing Obama’s student loan records while he was either a candidate for president, president-elect or president.

They can get up to one year in prison, and be fined as much as $100,000.

Of course had they been in Arizona and simply walking down the street while wearing the wrong shoes, they could have been fined, jailed, and deported. The nine hackers should consider themselves lucky.
