And the arson threat didn’t help his case either

Yes, of course, I am writing this post simply because it allows me to use the words hacker and ax in the same sentence.

From a report by Australia’s Herald Sun:

An Internet user has admitted hacking a service provider’s computers, threatening to burn down its offices and menacing its owner with an axe.

Bryce Kingsley Quilley, 29, of Tailem Bend, appeared in the District Court today.

He pleaded guilty to three counts of unlawful modification of computer data, one aggravated count of threatening to cause harm and one aggravated count of threatening to damage property.

The story did not indicate what exactly had made the man mad.
