Anthony Todd Banasack, 38, pleaded guilty last month to a felony charge of accessing a computer to take data. Banasack was sentenced by Superior Court Judge Robert Trentacosta. "The defendant victimized companies or individuals over a two- to three- year period using keystroke logging software that had been secretly installed on computers from a remote location," said District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis. In May, a San Diego company detected keystroke logging software, in which everything typed on its computer keyboards could be replicated off site by the hacker. The district attorney's Computer and Technology Crime High Tech Response Team and a sheriff's detective identified Banasack, who lived in Tempe, Ariz., as the suspect, authorities said. Subsequent investigation by the CATCH Team determined that Banasack had victimized eight corporations in California, authorities said. More than 6,000 data files stolen from victims' computers were recovered from Banasack's computers, investigators said. _________________________________________ Open Source Vulnerability Database (OSVDB) Everything is Vulnerable - http://www.osvdb.org/
