His next hearing was scheduled for Sept. 17 in Seattle, where the case was being investigated.

He faces one federal count of intentionally causing damage to a protected computer. If convicted, he could face up to 10 years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000.

he'll probably get hired by some big company.

I thought he only modified msblaster a bit.. didn't actually create it..

He's a big fella, gonna take up a lot of room in his cell. He's an economic terrorist, caused billions of dollars in damages, just for kicks. Give him ten years of hard time in maximum security and these stunts will become very rare.

Some big company? I wouldn't be surprised if Gates hires him...after he's done his time, of course.

he had modified the original "Blaster" infection and created a version known by a variety of different names, including "Blaster.B.," court papers said
He has modified the origiinal blaster virus so not all the damages can be credited to him alone. And while his knowledge is probably quite extensive I doubt that any company would be eager to hire someone like this. Especially since he was caught because of his own stupidity. He seemingly counted the infections on his own site. t33kid.com.

It's sure that he'll get a well-paid job.
BTW, Kevin Mitnick works in a company that secures computers.

Mitnick was a Hacker, not some lame ass virii spreader. Companies fear virii far more than hackers. And as stated on foxnews, he just altered the virus he did not create it.
