A woman who hacked into her married boyfriend’s emails is now serving 15 months in prison. But the service she used was still up and running — that is until this was published. Still, this is a disturbing story.

When Elaine Cioni found out that her married boyfriend had other girlfriends, she became obsessed, federal prosecutors say. So she turned to YourHackerz.com.
And for only $100, YourHackerz.com provided Cioni, then living in Northern Virginia, with the password to her boyfriend’s AOL e-mail account, court records show.
For another $100, she got her boyfriend’s wife’s e-mail password. And then the passwords of at least one other girlfriend and the boyfriend’s two children. None had any clue what Cioni was doing, they would later testify.
Cioni, however, went further and began making harassing phone calls to her boyfriend and his family, using a “spoofing” service to disguise her voice as a man’s.
