http://www.sheboyganpress.com/article/20110311/SHE0101/103110440/Man-allegedly-hacked-boss-s-e-mail-after-firing Sheboygan Press staff March 10, 2011 A 19-year-old Plymouth man was charged Wednesday for allegedly hacking into his former boss's e-mail account after being fired, using it to delete the man's Facebook and MySpace pages and send discrediting e-mails. Eugene A. Osbahr, of 621 McColm St., could face up to two years behind bars on a misdemeanor count of computer crimes-modifying data, which carries a penalty enhancer due to his prior convictions. According to a criminal complaint: Osbahr's boss, who manages an Anytime Fitness location, alerted police in January after his e-mail account was compromised. The man said the hacker sent an e-mail to his boss making it sound as if he is selling steroids, then deleted his Facebook and MySpace accounts by using the e-mail account to reset his passwords.
