So no, it wasn’t a crazy russian ex-marine who hacked into her cell phone from the frozen tundra. Turns out it was a 17-year-old kid from Massachusetts. He’s lucky he gets his name hidden because he’s a minor, otherwise I’m sure people would kill him for bringing them awesome Paris girl on girl action and Lindsay Lohan’s phone number. What’d he get? Nothing really, just 11 months in a juvenile detention center and 2 years of supervised release. He’s not just a sweetheart with a curious mind though, peep what else he’s done:

The teenager also pleaded guilty to making bomb threats at two high schools and to breaking into a telephone company’s computer system to set up free cell phone accounts for friends. He also participated in a group attack on data-collection firm LexisNexis Group that exposed personal records of more than 300,000 consumers. Prosecutors said victims of the teen’s actions have suffered about $1 million in damage.
