Hacker gets 30 months in DirecTV fraud case

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A 26-year-old hacker convicted for conspiracy to commit access device fraud was sentenced Monday to a 30-month federal prison term.

Brian Dorsett, who according to authorities admitted to having altered satellite TV smart cards, was also ordered to pay $500,000 in restitution to the victims: DirecTV and NDS Americas Inc., a company that manufactures the computer chips inside satellite reception cards.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested Dorsett on Nov. 17 while he negotiated the sale of 400 DirecTV Latin America satellite reception cards with undercover agents.

A search warrant obtained by ICE agents for Dorsett's Miami residence revealed hundreds of additional hacked cards. He pleaded guilty Feb. 17.

As part of his sentence, Dorsett also received a three-year supervised release with the condition that he be prohibited from watching television or have television access during his probation.

Neither homeland security or immagration should have anything to do with TV hacking unless.

1. Arabs / terrorists are doing it
2. It is being smuggled in or out of the country.

Neither of their charters permit wasting time and money designated for their areas of responsibility on other, non-related investigations.

Write your Congressman, Senator, Represenatives and complain that Homeland security and immagration are breaking the law and neglecting their responsibilities to chase domestic TV hackers instead of chasing illegal aliens who are getting drivers licenses, free medical care, Food Stamps, free educations for their kids and welfare instead of being caught by these immagration people and deported.

That is true SJ......here is a statement from their web site stating just that.

ICE, the primary investigative arm of the Department of Homeland Security, was established to bring a unified focus to the enforcement of U.S. immigration and customs laws, with the principal goal of preventing violations by terrorists and other criminals who threaten the nation's security.

(color highlight by me.)
