Gates's Viagra hacker sentenced

Cant say this kid have a bad sense of humor.

A teenage hacker who used computer billionaire Bill Gates's credit card details to send him Viagra tablets has escaped a prison sentence.
Raphael Gray, 19, styled himself as a "saint of e-commerce", as he hacked into U.S., British and Canadian companies during a "crusade" to expose holes in Internet security.

His campaign -- which caused one firm to fold and huge financial damage -- was fought from his bedroom in a small Welsh village and sparked an FBI investigation.

Gray was ordered to carry out a three-year community probation order linked to treatment for a mental disorder when he appeared in court on Friday.

After gaining the credit card details of Bill Gates, Gray ordered a consignment of Viagra for the Microsoft chief.

Judge Gareth Davies was told that Gray had suffered from chronic low self-esteem since childhood, which had contributed to the criminal acts he carried out on the Internet.
