These are two articles about John Falcon's arrest that appeared
in the Anchorage Daily News in Alaska:
Police Report
Hacker accused of computer fraud
A 20-year-old Anchorage man has been charged with four counts
related to computer fraud. Donald Max Fanning is accused of
breaking into a computer system at a Seattle-based company and
illegally charging phone calls to the Federal Aviation
Administration and MarkAir. The charges also allege that
Fanning stole property from Elmendorf Air Force Base and
illegally obtained a password that could have allowed him to
break into a government computer. Fanning is scheduled to be
arraigned in U.S. District Court today.
Daily News staff report
Hacker gets 20-month sentence
By S.J. Komarnitsky
Daily News Reporter
An Anchorage man convicted of computer hacking has
been sentenced to 20 months in federal prison.
Donald Max Fanning was also ordered to pay $21,000 in
restitution and perform 200 hours of community service.
Fanning, 20, pleaded guilty in June to two counts of
computer fraud, one count of fradulant use of an access
device, and theft of U.S. government property.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Jim Torgerson said the charged
included stealing computer equipment from Elmendorf Air Force
Base, illegally charging more than $1,700 in long-distance
calls to the Federal Aviation Administration and MarkAir, and
breaking into a Seattle-based computer company. (Typist: I
know this to be Tera Computer)
Fanning also posted the code he used to charge calls
to the FAA on a voice-mail system.
Torgerson said Wednesday that most of the money -
about $14,000 - would go to the Air Force to cover the cost of
the stolen equipment. An additional $4,800 would go to the
Seattle company to repay its costs in tracking Fanning down,
while the remainder would be given to the FAA and MArkAir to
pay for the phone calls.
Fanning will be on probation for three years following
his release. As part of his sentence, he will not be allowed
to own or use any computer during that time.
