A hacker sentenced to 20 years in jail for datas stealing

After a long deliberation, it is a heavy verdict was delivered several months late on the date announced in early trials.

Remember in late 2009, we had talked of Albert Gonzalez, the pirate who stole more than 130 million numbers of credit cards.

At his trial, he had finally decided to plead guilty.

The attacker was disturbed 28 years of the sentence awaiting him, but he expected a sentence too heavy?

On Thursday, he was sentenced by a court in Boston (Massachusetts) to twenty years imprisonment.

This is the highest penalty ever imposed for piracy data

The 28 year old man did not stop in so good way, and it will compare this weekend to charges of conspiracy, computer fraud and identity theft for other acts of piracy.

His sentence could thus extend to 5 years.

American justice has wanted to make this case an example, as explained by Judge Patti Saris: "Even if you have any remorse (...), I must send a message, given the enormous cost of your crime" .

Albert Gonzales was most hidden one million dollars in the garden of her parents. Amount he has returned to the authorities to repay some of his victims.

Gonzales wanted to put 15 million dollars later, bought a yacht and retire. It will take, for sure, but in the shade.
