Our acquaintance Sabu, her former hacker lulzsec, and FBI whistleblower was ultimately not convicted. The U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York released him on Tuesday after a judge sentenced him to one year suspension.
Sabu or Hector Xavier Monsegur είχε κατηγορηθεί συνολικά για δώδεκα κακουργήματα, για το ρόλο του στις επιθέσεις κατά της Sony Pictures, της HB Gary της Nintendo, καθώς και σε άλλες ιδιωτικές εταιρείες, πρακτορεία news and government agencies during his summer 2011. If he did not cooperate with the FBI, he would face up to 26 years in prison.
Judge Loretta Preska, who last year convicted him Jeremy Hammond to ten years in prison for hacking to Stratfor, stated that the lenient sentence was the result of the "really special" assistance provided by Monsegur to the authorities since his arrest on June 7, 2011.
