Neo Anglia Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 [quote name='Vhalen' date='05 March 2010 - 04:53 AM' timestamp='1267783100' post='2214745'] Maybe you can't do anything legally (I don't pretend to know), but most ISPs, in my experience, don't care to be associated with those types. I've never dealt with an ISP in NZ, but all the ones I've spoken with in the past have been very good about canceling accounts of hacker/troublemaker types. I admit it's been a while since I had the dubious pleasure, though. Regardless, it's worth a shot to ask, especially if you can provide evidence of repeated trouble (and it sounds like you can). [/quote]Hacking is hacking, and anyone caught in the US doing it faces Federal charges. 114 Stat. 3075, Codified at 18 U.S.C 1001, 1028. It was designed for banking, but where Admin accepts creds for donation deals it is broad enough to be applied here as well. So site Admins, log those out of place IP/MAC addys.

[/quote] Well, the crime crosses international boundaries and takes place on American soil, so I guess you'd charge him, then look at US/NZ extradition: http://newzealand.usembassy.gov/uploads/images/o16y8MOyHW2l-jJTxaMpeQ/ExtraditionUSNZ.pdf Offhand, I'd say you could make argument for a couple of those offenses.
