Photobucket hackers face charges over photo-stealing app

Two men were arrested last week for allegedly developing hacking software that steals user information and photos from the image-hosting website Photobucket, reports The Register.
Suspects Brandon Bourret of Colorado and Athanasios Andrianakis of California are said to have sold an application that enables criminals to access Photobucket users’ private photos, videos and information. The two men face charges of computer fraud and abuse, identification document fraud, wire fraud and access device fraud, the latter of which could come with a sentence of up to ten years in federal prison and a $250k fine per count.
