"AGENT STEAL" GOING AGENT PEEL

From cybercrime to cyberporn.

That's the path former hacker and FBI informant Justin Petersen says he's taking, fresh out of the federal calaboose. He's told CNN he plans to begin a crime-free life online by posting an adult Web site.

The hacker once known as "Agent Steal" was arrested last December after leaving a Los Angeles halfway house, where he was finishing a sentence for hacking into a financial services business to pay himself $150,000. Petersen pleaded guilty to federal computer crimes in 1993.

He also claims to have helped the Feds put Kevin Mitnick and Kevin Moulson behind bars. Mitnick, accused of hacking 20,000 credit card numbers among other offences, is the only computer hacker thus far to make the FBI's Ten Most Wanted List.
