Says Wired: &#8216;[U.S. District Judge Miranda] Du had asked prosecutors to defend their use of the federal anti-hacking law by Wednesday, in light of a recent 9th Circuit ruling that reigned in the scope of the CFAA. The dismissal leaves John Kane, 54, and Andre Nestor, 41, facing a single remaining charge of conspiracy to commit wire fraud.&#8217; Kane&#8217;s lawyer agreed, stating, &#8216;The case never should have been filed under the CFAA, it should have been just a straight wire fraud case. And I&#8217;m not sure its even a wire fraud. I guess we&#8217;ll find out when we go to trial.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<div> <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/home?status=Feds+Drop+CFAA+Charges+Against+'Hacker'+Who+Exploited+Poker+Machines%3A+http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2FZFU5hl\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/a.fsdn.com\/sd\/twitter_icon_large.png\"><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fyro.slashdot.org%2Fstory%2F13%2F05%2F08%2F0030202%2Ffeds-drop-cfaa-charges-against-hacker-who-exploited-poker-machines%3Futm_source%3Dslashdot%26utm_medium%3Dfacebook\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/a.fsdn.com\/sd\/facebook_icon_large.png\"><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/plus.google.com\/share?url=http:\/\/yro.slashdot.org\/story\/13\/05\/08\/0030202\/feds-drop-cfaa-charges-against-hacker-who-exploited-poker-machines?utm_source=slashdot&amp;utm_medium=googleplus\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gstatic.com\/images\/icons\/gplus-16.png\" alt=\"Share on Google+\"><\/a> <\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/yro.slashdot.org\/story\/13\/05\/08\/0030202\/feds-drop-cfaa-charges-against-hacker-who-exploited-poker-machines?utm_source=rss1.0moreanon&amp;utm_medium=feed\">Read more of this story<\/a> at Slashdot.<\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"http:\/\/slashdot.org\/slashdot-it.pl?op=discuss&amp;id=3726697&amp;smallembed=1\" style=\"height:300px;width:100%;border:none\"><\/iframe><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" src=\"http:\/\/slashdot.feedsportal.com\/c\/35028\/f\/647410\/s\/2ba40ae7\/mf.gif\" border=\"0\"><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/da.feedsportal.com\/r\/164876810651\/u\/49\/f\/647410\/c\/35028\/s\/2ba40ae7\/a2.htm\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/da.feedsportal.com\/r\/164876810651\/u\/49\/f\/647410\/c\/35028\/s\/2ba40ae7\/a2.img\" border=\"0\"><\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" src=\"http:\/\/pi.feedsportal.com\/r\/164876810651\/u\/49\/f\/647410\/c\/35028\/s\/2ba40ae7\/a2t.img\" border=\"0\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/Slashdot\/slashdot\/~4\/nIMuaDmzAVU\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"><\/p>\n<p>SOURCE <a href=\"http:\/\/yro.slashdot.org\/story\/13\/05\/08\/0030202\/feds-drop-cfaa-charges-against-hacker-who-exploited-poker-machines?utm_source=rss1.0mainlinkanon&#038;utm_medium=feed\">Slashdot<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FuzzNugget writes &#8220;According to Wired, the two CFAA charges that were laid against the man who exploited a software bug on a video poker machine have been officially dismissed.
