An iPad hacker was convicted for stealing several email addresses from At&t servers which included the likes of NY Mayor Bloomberg and film mogul Harvey Weinstein.
Andrew Auernheimer, of New York, was convicted of identity theft and conspiracy to gain unauthorized access to computers. Each count carries a maximum prison sentence of five years.
Prosecutors said the former Fayetteville, Arkansas, resident was part of an online group that tricked AT&T’s website into divulging email addresses, including those of Bloomberg, Weinstein, then-White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel, who is now mayor of Chicago, and other celebrities.
