Police search home of Kiss rocker Gene Simmons

Source: SFGATE.COM



LOS ANGELES — Los Angeles police say a task force investigating Internet crimes against children served a search warrant at the home of Kiss rocker Gene Simmons, but neither Simmons nor anyone in his family is suspected in the case.

Lt. John Jenal says the warrant was served Thursday at the Simmons home in Benedict Canyon near Beverly Hills.

Jenal says the detectives involved want to emphasize that Simmons and his family were "extremely cooperative" and none of them are suspected of a crime.

Police would give no further comment on the investigation.

2. He was on tour last year and the people at the house then are the suspects. Not related, they

are somewhere else, so this is likely just looking for anything that may have been physical evidence still around. In a multi room place, that's not unlikely.

You might stave off the hack for 24 hours if you use one of those random key generation sites.

But, if you have a bored neighbor with too much time on their hands... they're in your home network.

But, that's OK. As a neighbor, they have all the time in the world to do it. With a slower machine 2 days.

If you hide your SSID, that will buy you a few more minutes, if you secure your MAC Addresses, that can be spoofed.

It's a fascade to think that a secure network keeps people out, if anything can helps to convict innocent people.

What better way to get revenge on someone--hire a detective or computer whiz to plant info/collect/send on your PC?

5. I think authorities have integrated with NSA records (on everyone) & have gotten good

at flagging any internet user who viewed/ downloaded any criminal content. Then a warrant & seize household computers. IRS does this seize computers too.

I think the downside is the worse criminals will not keep computers at their home address and may use remote browser/web cam software.

A girl in my high school met him and he took her picture. She was 16 or 17 at the time. She was so excited. Whatever.
