A teenage Texas hacker using an obsolescent personal computer and a telephone allegedly broke into Yale University’s computer system in 2000 from his bedroom, and now faces up to 95 years in prison. Jason Jarrell, now 19, who lives with his mother in a town outside Dallas, appeared in Superior Court here Thursday. He is scheduled to be arraigned April 22 on six counts of computer crime.
