Some dead-beat dad who hadn't seen his daughter in 10 years looked her up on facebook with the intent of getting her to meet him at an agreed-upon location. The way he was talking to her on facebook, however, gave her the creeps (as it should) so instead of him meeting her there, he was met with a bunch of police officers who arrested him for propositioning his daughter.

I love when people get their comeuppance (I love that word too)

Cyber-criminal Left In Charge of Prison Computer Network

An official in a prison in England decided it would a smashing idea to let a criminal (locked up for stealing money through the Internet) set up a TV system in the prison.  To quote the article, "He was left unguarded with unfettered access to the system".  The result?  He didn't shut down the entire system and leave a trail of passwords that took a specialist company to figure out.  Just kidding.  That's exactly what he did.
