Alleged WebTV 911 hacker charged with cyberterrorism

February 26:
] FBI agents arrested a Louisiana man last week for
] allegedly tricking a handful of MSN TV users into running
] a malicious e-mail attachment that reprogrammed their
] set-top boxes to dial 9-1-1 emergency response.

This is from several weeks ago... I'm meme-ing it because I'm currently interested in the "what types of hacking count as terrorism" concept. And fwiw, I'm pretty appalled that this moron was messing with 911. They've got enough crap to handle without dealing with stunts like this.
