Hilton hacker banned from internet

The teenager who hacked into Paris Hilton's mobile phone and spread its contents across the internet has been sentenced.

According to the Washington Post the culprit was found to be a 17-year boy from Massachusetts who cannot be named for legal reasons. Appearing at Boston's US District Court last week he pleaded guilty to nine counts of juvenile delinquency including hacking and theft of personal information regarding the Hilton case, as well as others such as making bomb threats to high schools.

He has been sentenced to eleven months in a juvenile correctional facility and has been banned from using computers, mobile phones or any other internet-capable technology for two years following his detention.
