Title: US credit card hacker jailed
Post by: Simon on Mar 27, 2010, 20:40:39
Computer hacker Albert Gonzalez has been jailed for 20 years in the US for his part in stealing the details of more than 130m credit and debit cards.

One judge described the crime as "the largest and most costly example of computer hacking in US history".  The 28-year-old pleaded guilty to three cases of fraud at his trial last year.

One less, but no doubt 10 took his place.
