"Man sentenced for "botnet" attack on hospital, military installations"

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "SEATTLE -- A California man was sentenced Friday to three years in federal prison and three years of supervised release for creating a network of robot computers that compromised systems at U.S. military installations around the world and at a Seattle hospital and a California school district.

Christopher Maxwell, 21, of Vacaville, Calif., was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Marsha J. Pechman. He pleaded guilty in May to federal charges of conspiracy to intentionally cause damage to a protected computer and conspiracy to commit computer fraud.

Pechman said the crime showed "incredible self-centeredness" with little regard for the impact on others. She said the prison time was needed as "deterrence for all those youth out there who are squirreled away in their basements hacking.""
