A young British hacker obtained Bill Gates' credit card number and used it to
>order Viagra sent to the software czar in an effort to show how vulnerable
>the Internet is, it was reported. Raphael Gray, 19, was arrested by FBI
>agents and British police in his Welsh hometown of Clynderwen and will be
>sentenced for unlawful hacking later this month, The Sun of London reported.
>Gray said he sent Microsoft an e-mail, warning it that cybercrooks can obtain
>the credit card details of people who shop online. When Microsoft showed no
>interest, Gray, then 17, decided to "do something that might grab their
>attention." He said he broke into customer databases of dot-com firms and
>found Gates' credit card number in one of them. Gray ordered the male potency
>drug sent to Gates at Microsoft's Redmond, Wash., headquarters. "I wanted to
>prove a point," The Sun quoted him as saying. "I sent Bill a lot of Viagra
>and I was disappointed not to get a thank you note for demonstrating the
>insecurity of the site." Gray also posted the credit card number of Gates and
>23,000 other people on his own Web site. Gray was questioned for 14 hours and
>ultimately agreed to a plea bargain.

i bet Gates..kept the viagara

LOL, i bet he did keep it....thats what you get being one of the richest men in the world

He now works for the FBI.

LOL is that right?? I was thinking maybe microsoft hired him.. :thumbsup :thumbsup

Msft security department is made up of hackers......saw the special on TLC once.

so what was his sentence ??

Who would know better that how could somebody get behind security?...

Really old but still lol :)

but why would bill gates have a credit card

with his money he doesnt need one

I still like this.

I wonder why Microsoft didn't thank him, maybe because he publically posted 23K people's credit card info!
