The U.S. Department of Justice said in a statement released Friday that two men, Brandon Bourret, and Athanasios Andrianakis, of Colorado Springs, Colorado
and Sunnyvale, California, respectively, were arrested
for their sale of software designed to breach the security of
photo-sharing site Photobucket.com; their "Photofucket" app, says the
linked Register report, was used "to plunder Photobucket's users'
private and password-protected information, images and videos, it has
been alleged ... The charge sheet against Bourret and Andrianakis
details one count of conspiracy and one count of computer fraud, aid and
abet – both of which carry a maximum prison sentence of five years and a
fine of up to $250,000.
In addition, the men stand accused of two counts of access device fraud,
which carries a higher prison sentence of up to 10 years and a fine of
up to a quarter of a million dollars, per count." The indictment, filed in Federal District Court in Colorado, is far easier to read than many.
