The purpose of the breaching of these accounts was to search for and garner photos of young women, which he stored on hard drives at his personal home.            Ruiz was finally sought out by his superiors then the authorities after other Yahoo staff noticed suspicious activity on certain accounts. Ruiz has been guilty of computer intrusion as well as interception of a wireless communication, but because of the plea deal, he has only pleaded guilty of the former charge.
