Remember the twenty-something hacker who got into T-Mobile's servers, then got lots of pictures of celebrities off the Sidekick databases? He's been sentenced to one year's house arrest and a $10,000 restitution to T-Mobile.

mobiletracker.com - Over a year and a half after pleading guilty to stealing customer information from T-Mobile USA, Nicholas Lee Jacobsen has been sentenced to one year of house arrest. Jacobsen stole information on about 400 T-Mobile customers who used the popular Sidekick device. Among the compromised users was a US Secret Service agent.

"I did some very stupid things," Jacobsen told U.S. District Judge George King at his sentencing Monday in Los Angeles.

Besides the year of home detention, Jacobsen must may $10,000 in restitution to T-Mobile. The maximum penalty was five years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000.

Can you even imagine how brilliant this kid must be. Be nice if he was our camarad here for the benefit of us all. I wonder how many times I've wished I could hack TMobile and retrieve some data I'd inadvertantly deleted.
