A former student installed keystroke capturing software on computers at Boston College in order to collect users' personal data.
He collected information about 4,800 computer users--passwords, credit cards, social security numbers, inter alia.
The student has been "indicted by a Middlesex County grand jury today on six counts of interception of wire communications, eight counts of unauthorized access to a computer system, two counts each of larceny over $250, identity fraud and breaking and entering in the nighttime with intent to commit a felony, and one count each of stealing from a building and distributing counterfeit movies and television shows."
