An Oregan man has pleaded guilty to selling more than a million US dollars worth of pirated software on online auction sites. It has been estimated that the pirate trousered around $400,000 in personal profit.
Jeremiah Mondello set up thousands of online auctions using more than 40 stolen identities which he obtained by using a programme which replicated passwords and user names by recording keystrokes.
Mondello, who has also been charged with aggravated identity theft, and mail fraud faces up to 27 years in chokey when he is sentenced in July.
