MySpace Extortionists Plead Guilty

Two dopes from New York wrote software to snoop email and IP addresses from MySpace users, then tried to extort $150,000 from MySpace as a “consulting fee” to stop distributing their hack. One odd aspect of their plea bargain agreement is that they’re each limited to a single email address. (Via Valleywag.)
