William Genovese is an American ex-hacker who goes by the moniker illwill. In 2004 federal authorities charged Genovese with unlawful sale of a trade secret (US Code Title 18, section 1832) for selling the incomplete WindowsNT/2000 Microsoft source code. to Microsoft investigators and federal agents.
Following an investigation, Genovese was arrested in November 2004. Even though the code Genovese sold was already widely distributed on the Internet prior to his sale. In 2005, in order to receive a reduced sentence, Genovese agreed to plea agreement and was convicted of the unlawful sale of a trade secret, and received a 24 month sentence.
In 2005, illmob.org, a security website owned by Genovese, posted leaked images and phonebooks from T-Mobile Sidekick user's phones that were obtained from a fellow hacker, Nicolas Jacobsen. Users included celebrities such as Demi Moore, Ashton Kutcher, Nicole Richie, and Paris Hilton. Reportedly, the data of Sidekick-toting celebrities was obtained by exploiting a vulnerability in a BEA WebLogic Server database. The WebLogic hole took the form of an undocumented function that allows an attacker to remotely read or replace any file on a system by feeding it a specially-crafted web request. BEA produced a patch for the bug in March 2003. The website was also mentioned in news articles, in connection with the notorious internet leak of Paris Hilton's phone data and Fred Durst's sex tape leak.

Illwill is the eighth studio album by the Swedish band Lake of Tears.
Poison in my blood
Running through my veins
Panic disorder growing
Just a perfect day
Fever in my mind
My vision's getting dim
Purple toe is spreading
On my pale skin
A cold place
Such a cold place
Time is standing still
But life is fading fast
Am I still here dreaming?
Or am I dead at last?
A cold place
Such a cold place
Can't wake!
I'm hanged for my mistakes
Cold, fucked!
My life will always be black
Death race!
A bitter place
Cold, black!
Fucked!
A cold place
Such a cold place
Can't wake!
I'm hanged for my mistakes
Cold, fucked!
My life will always be black
Death race!
A bitter place
Cold, black!
