A Mexican residing in USA's Santa Ana is understood to have invaded several hundred PCs so he could get victims to prepare and send movies on themselves in sexually explicit poses. However, he admitted guilt on March 21, 2011 in Los Angeles (USA) to federal accusation pertaining to PC fraud. Nbcloseangeles.com published this on March 21, 2011.
Aged 32, Luis Mijangos, the accused from Santa Ana, admitted that he deliberately gained admission into a PC in an illegal manner and tapped into a wire communication, according to prosecutors who say this can get him imprisoned for up to 10-years along with a penalty of $500,000, as per Allvoices.com which reported on March 21, 2011.
Moreover, according to prosecutors, Mijangos hacked into the PCs via P2P file-sharing networks after defrauding victims into taking down a virus, which looked like well-known songs. The virus reportedly, let the 'accused' compromise the PCs so he could dispatch IM messages to all the addresses on those PC-owners' contact lists thus infecting other people as well, said the Office of U.S Attorney.
