Nicholas Webber, the founder of GhostMarket (a site that allowed hackers trafficking in stolen credit-card data and identities to hang out virtually), was sentenced 5 years in prison for creating the GhostMarket forum after being kicked out of school for hacking in the system and deleting his friend's detention records. Then he was just that 17 year old who made a global crime book that had over 8000 members stealing the details on over 100,000 credit cards worth $22 Million.
A very "smart" move was made in prison when they offered Nicholas to join the IT Skills class in prison. I am not really sure what were they thinking when they offered him to join that class but for someone as smart as Nicholas he wouldn't let this opportunity slip out of his hand. He took this opportunity and hacked the prison's computer system. Fortunately for the prison, the system had no access to information outside the prison which means he couldn't do much. The prison Fired the IT teacher who is going to press charges since she didn't know that Nicholas was imprisoned for hacking.
security systems could take the opportunity to benefit from those people by hiring them so they could avoid the danger of them in society. the FBI is looking for thoese hackers to employ them.
