The FBI vs. Miley's Cyber-stalker

Not discouraged by a federal probe into his hacking activities, a 20 year old cyber-stalker from Tennessee continues to hack and spam away.  According to his own admissions, Joshua Holly of Tennessee has described his ongoing hacking and spamming activities in forums at DigitalGangster.com, where he first distributed racy images of Cyrus found in her email account. In recent posts, Holly bragged about allegedly hacking Google's new "Buzz" feature, and he previously offered to sell a "bot" that spams Facebook user accounts. According to a search warrant affidavit, filed last year in U.S. District Court in Nashville, FBI agents have been probing Holly's Cyrus hacks since July of 2008 and a subsequent raid lead agents to find that not only had he been hacking and spamming the pop star's accounts, but likely selling and profiting from her information to the tune of over $100,000 over nine months.

Now personally, I've never understood the mentality of people who actually brag about crimes they've committed, and that is one thing... BUT... given the nature of what people would likely pay money for from Miley's personal email or Myspace, I've gotta ask... Is this chick even remotely legal yet?!?

Re-Peto

OK, let's say you're an undercover cop specializing in cyber-crime and your current assignment is busting pedophiles who solicit children online. I imagine, in that role, you'd have to think that any perpetrator ever caught being so unbelievably reprehensible would so dread being caught ever again that a repeat offender would likely:

1. Change up their M.O. a bit.
2. Consider skipping town permanently.
3. Try to learn from the experience of getting caught, as to not fall for the same tricks and procedures again.
4. Change up their daily habits as to... Hmmm, let's say... not be found and busted pulling into the exact same flippin' parking spot they were arrested in before, possibly giving the arresting officer deja vu.

Well, fortunately for Lt. Jeff Braley of Warren County in Ohio, according to the link below, one of his perps was apparently way too stupid for all of that.


So, big-time kudos to Lt. Braley for his work ...but to Christopher Sefakis of South Lebanon Ohio, I am going to have to give you a rating of 8 out of 10 Zombie Darwins and a bonus of one castrated bipolar werewolf, effective the instant your sorry ass is found guilty! I mean, for the love of God, Mr. Sefakis... I have to say, the thankful super-singular upside to you liking young boys:

Odds are, you wont reproduce!




Merry frikkin' X-Mas!
