Donald Max Fanning is accused of breaking into a computer system at a Seattle-based company and illegally charging phone calls to the Federal Aviation Administration and MarkAir. The charges also allege that Fanning stole property from Elmendorf Air Force Base and illegally obtained a password that could have allowed him to break into a government computer. Fanning is scheduled to be arraigned in U.S. District Court today. Daily News staff report Hacker gets 20-month sentence By S.J. Komarnitsky Daily News Reporter An Anchorage man convicted of computer hacking has been sentenced to 20 months in federal prison. Donald Max Fanning was also ordered to pay $21,000 in restitution and perform 200 hours of community service. Fanning, 20, pleaded guilty in June to two counts of computer fraud, one count of fradulant use of an access device, and theft of U.S. government property. Assistant U.S. Attorney Jim Torgerson said the charged included stealing computer equipment from Elmendorf Air Force Base, illegally charging more than $1,700 in long-distance calls to the Federal Aviation Administration and MarkAir, and breaking into a Seattle-based computer company. (Typist: I know this to be Tera Computer) Fanning also posted the code he used to charge calls to the FAA on a voice-mail system. Torgerson said Wednesday that most of the money - about $14,000 - would go to the Air Force to cover the cost of the stolen equipment. An additional $4,800 would go to the Seattle company to repay its costs in tracking Fanning down, while the remainder would be given to the FAA and MArkAir to pay for the phone calls. Fanning will be on probation for three years following his release. As part of his sentence, he will not be allowed to own or use any computer during that time. -- You can E-Mail him at jfalcon@ice-bbs.alaska.net ...
