After being in beta for a while, the Issue Tracker Starter Kit has now been released, with both VB.NET and C# (only C# was available in beta), and SDKs (for Web Matrix) or VS.NET projects.
You'll find it at the top of the page: http://www.asp.net/Default.aspx?tabindex=8&tabid=47
The Issue Tracker enables project teams to keep track of outstanding issues, assigned owners, history and related issues through a Web-based interface.
$750,000 per month?!? Sometimes you feel like you're in the wrong business. Then they get 9 years in the pen. Good riddance! Interesting article to read, since this clown used zombie servers.

Jaynes' business was remarkably lucrative; prosecutors say he grossed up to $750,000 per month. If you have an e-mail account, chances are Jaynes tried to get your attention, pitching software, pornography and work-at-home schemes
...

Since TechNet Mag has some good articles on security, I'd like to share a recent one from InformIT.com. Once you're done reading this, you'll want to just smack the little script kiddie around, and then smack the lazy admins around who allowed him to pull his hijinks.
The Real THR34T KR3W: The Story of Hacker Connor Hansen
source: http://www.informit.com/articles/article.asp?p=348249
In fall 2002, security expert Seth Fogie stumbled into an IRC botnet run by a group called the THR34T KR3W (Threat Crew). He wrote an article about it for Informit, and about a month later headlines started to appear about the arrest of a hacker group called — drum roll— the THR34T KR3W. One member contacted Seth and told him more about the details of THR34T. Eventually the authorities did catch up to the hacker, and the conversation stopped.
Until now. One of the members of the THR34T KR3W, Connor Hansen, recently contacted us to tell his side of the story—how the group worked, wanted they wanted to do, and how he still can't get his stuff back from the Feds.
