Ex-FBI Computer Informant Pleads
Guilty to Hacking
SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - A man who officials said once
was a confidential FBI (news - web sites) source on computer
criminals has pleaded guilty to breaking into government
computers, the U.S. Attorneys office said on Monday.
In a plea agreement, Max Ray Butler, 27, also known as Max
Vision, admitted to one felony charge of unauthorized access to
protected computers, recklessly causing damage. Butler, who is
free on bail, will be sentenced Jan. 22 and faces a maximum
penalty of five years in prison and a fine of $250,000.
Butler was indicted by a federal grand jury in March and
charged with 15 counts of breaking into and damaging hundreds
of computers as well as possessing with intent to defraud the
passwords of 477 customers of California Internet service
provider Aimnet.
