Sony hacker gets year in prison for involvement in 2011 data breach (update)
Cody Kretsinger, a hacker affiliated with LulzSec, has been sentenced to a yearlong prison term for his involvement in the hacks waged against Sony in 2011. Upon his release, a US District Judge in Los Angeles has also ordered Kretsinger to home detention and 1,000 hours of community service. Kretsinger - known to fellow LulzSec members as "Recursion" - last year pled guilty to breaching the Sony Pictures site through SQL injection and providing personal customer data to LulzSec. Sony estimates damages caused by the hack to be around $600,000. Charges have also been brought against other members of the notorious group.
