Hackers
On June 13, 2003 my friend Jim's mom asked me if I could take a look at her computer. She knows that I am going to school in the computer field and thought that I might be able to figure out why her computer had a text file that appeared on the desktop.

The hacker put a password ripper on her computer and another text file that gave a list of people who were emailed from Ann's email account.
