Former Reuters Journalist Matthew Keys Sentenced to Two Years for Hacking
Such a BAD use of tax payer money. So now we have to pay for 2 years of jail time (Probably 1 year for good behavior) for giving a key (That was actually not proven but was believed by the juror. The crime was the defacing of ONE page.  This key also should have been revoked after he left the company.<p>The recommendation of 7 years is just crazy and even the lowered 5 years is just nuts. If you just look at the cost to the newspaper it was at one point almost a million dollars when the fix for the page was one editor reverting the page.<p>&gt;  In order to be convicted of felony under the particular provisions of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act which prosecutors used to charge Keys, the conduct must exceed a threshold of $5,000.<p>That someone is responsible for paying a company to sure up their security is an issue. Or the inflation of cost to so Federal Prosecutors can get another win under their belt. That over reach is pretty high in this case.
