A rap artist is in jail after allegedly buying and using thousands of stolen credit card numbers that were hacked from Seattle area businesses.
The rapper, known as Guerilla Black, was arrested in Los Angeles Thursday on a 22 count indictment. The U.S. Attorney's Office says Charles Williamson, 33, bought more than 27,000 stolen credit and debit card numbers.
Williamson is accused of working with two other men who've already been indicted for hacking into computers at a restaurant in Seattle's Magnolia neighborhood and a restaurant supply company in Shoreline.
Williamson told his partners he wanted freshly stolen numbers so they would be easier to use, since the customers would not yet know their information had been stolen, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office.
"Today's arrest shows that criminals cannot hide in cyberspace. We will prosecute all parts of the criminal gang, regardless of where they may be," said U.S. Attorney Jenny A. Durkan.
The total loss hasn't been completed yet, but close to $150,000 in fraud loss has been attributed to only 134 of the card numbers.
Here's a sample of Williamson's work: |

If you don't have the money management skills yet, using a debit card will ensure you don't overspend and rack up debt on a credit card. |
| Frank Abagnale |
I don't use a debit card. The safest thing is a credit card because you're using the bank's money. If someone accesses your information, they are stealing the bank's money, not yours. |

In the late 1960s, Ontario Airport was a throwback to a bygone era. Located 35 miles east of downtown Los Angeles, the airport served only two carriers, Western and Bonanza. Passengers could catch regional flights to San Francisco, Sacramento, Las Vegas, Palm Springs, Phoenix and Los Angeles, and that was about it. |

Rap is hardcore street music but there are women out there who can hang with the best male rappers. What holds us back is that girls tend to rap in these high, squeaky voices. It's irritating. You've gotta rap from the diaphragm. |

The question at the end of the day was, the courts having found there was no defense, a producer about to go to jail, should CBS in effect tell the producer go to jail even though there is no law at all that we can use to get you out of jail? |

I use the NordicTrack every other day for 20 minutes. I don't listen to music or watch TV while I do it. I count to myself. I count to 25; I count to 25 backwards, that sort of thing. |

Seems like they only put money and effort into working on the parts where they ask for my credit card instead of trying to make a useful platform that people actually like.

Investigation Finds Inmates Built Computers, Hid Them In Prison Ceiling
The discovery of two working computers hidden in a ceiling at the Marion Correctional Institution prompted an investigation by the state into how inmates got access. In late July, 2015 staff at the prison discovered the computers hidden on a plywood board in the ceiling above a training room closet. The computers were also connected to the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction's network. Authorities say they were first tipped off to a possible problem in July, when their computer network support team got an alert that a computer "exceeded a daily internet usage threshold." When they checked the login being used, they discovered an employee's credentials were being used on days he wasn't scheduled to work. ...

and then when the turtle makes it obvious that it was stupid... i forgot what he said
the bee says "i feel so dumb. i can't believe i said that"
and the turtle says "huh. there's nothing to worry about. i got your credit card. nothing you gotta worry about. not doing anything fishy"

If you let yourself be hypnotized by the 'glamorous life' and the unrealistic expectations of modern culture, you could wake up tomorrow with an empty wallet or a melted credit card. You should not overspend right now, no matter how easy it may be to justify or rationalize doing so. Layaway plans, big sales and enticing rebate offers are all just tricks to get you to part ways with your hard-earned money -- but you're too smart to fall for any of these ploys, right?

Student chaIn college, you can use your time to study. Or then again, you could perhaps rely on the Hand of God.
And when I say “Hand of God,” what I really mean is “keylogger.”
Think of it like the “Nimble Fingers of God.”
“Hand of God” (that makes sense) and “pineapple” (???) are two of the nicknames allegedly used to refer to keyloggers used by a former University of Iowa wrestler and stude...

We are impressed by five prisoners in the US who built two personal computers from parts, hid them behind a plywood board in the ceiling of a closet, and then connected those computers to the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction's (ODRC) network to engage in cybershenanigans.
Compliments are less forthcoming from the State of Ohio's Office of the Inspector General, which published its 50-page report [PDF] into this incident yesterday, following a lengthy investigation.
The Inspector General was alerted to the issue after ODRC's IT team migrated the Marion Correctional Institutio...
