Actually, it was not a civil lawsuit (the typical meaning of "sued").
He was charged and convicted of three felony counts (criminal trial).
This was back in 1995. Keep in mind that there have been a number of
new federal and state "computer crime" laws passed in the last couple
of years.

I would not recommend exposing security holes by actively exploiting them
until you *very* carefully consider the consequences.
