September 12, 2007 (Computerworld) — A California man who served jail time for hacking hundreds of military and government computers nine years ago was charged yesterday with new computer crimes: stealing tens of thousands of credit card accounts by breaking into bank and card processing networks.

Max Ray Butler, 35 of San Francisco, a.k.a Max Vision, and also known by his online nicknames of Iceman, Digits and Aphex, was indicted Tuesday by a federal grand jury in Pittsburgh on three counts of wire fraud and two counts of transferring stolen identity information. Arrested last week in California, where he remains, Butler could face up to 40 years in prison and a $1.5 million fine if he is convicted on all five counts.

There is lots more on the Computerworld website, so you should go there and check it out!

I looked at the forums that they mention in the article, and they have gone through and wiped most of the content from them. The only post of mention is the one where someone asks who ratted on Butler. It is amazing that the site is still even up now that everyone knows that the site is there and that is what it was being used for.

One of the forum admins was smart enough to delete all of the forum threads at least.
