Gonzo, follow the law, or go directly to jail. Although you are not smart enough to be a hacker, you dig around in people's personal affairs and open doors for identity fraud. One quick call to the FBI, and you will be history.

"Hackers will face up to a 25 percent increase in their sentences if they hijack e-mail accounts or steal personal data -- including financial and medical records and digital photographs."

"Sentences also will increase by 50 percent for hackers who share stolen personal data with anyone. The sentences will double if the information is posted on the Internet."
