Florida Man Convicted in Data Theft Case
A Florida man was convicted of stealing information from data management company Acxiom Corp. of Little Rock, Ark., in what prosecutors said was the largest federal computer theft trial ever.
The jury convicted Scott Levine, the owner of defunct e-mail marketing contractor Snipermail.com, on 120 counts of unauthorized access to data, two counts of access device fraud and one count of obstruction of justice.
Prosecutors said Levine and his company stole 1.6 billion customer records -- the equivalent of 550 telephone books filled with names, e-mail and postal addresses.
