Hacker Gets 17 – 25 Years in Prison

What do you get for orchestrating the largest credit card theft in U.S. history? 17 to 25 years in prison, that’s what.

Gonzalez entered a guilty plea in U.S. District Court in Boston on Tuesday in a case involving unauthorized access to computers of Maine-based Hannaford supermarkets and other retailers. He pleaded guilty in September to charges from two other retailer-hacking cases. Plea agreements call for Gonzalez to serve 17 to 25 years in prison. Sentencing is scheduled for March.
