More on Wi-Fi:

Called a "depraved criminal" by prosecutors, Barry Ardolf, a 46-year-old father of two, was sentenced this week, not for Wi-Fi hacking but for the threats, identify theft and child pornography that followed in its wake, all directed against a young couple, Matt and Bethany Kostolnik of Blaine, Minnesota, and their children.

"My husband and I had to explain to our young, innocent children way too early that there are evil people in the world -- and to never go in Barry Ardolf's yard," Bethany Kostelnik told U.S. District Judge Donovan Frank, according to the . 

The ordeal began just two days after the Kostolniks moved into their new house, in August 2008. The couple called Blaine police to say that Ardolf had picked up their 4-year-old son and kissed him on the mouth. Ardolf decided to take revenge against them with what prosecutors called a "bizarre and calculated campaign of terror."
