$27K in restitution ordered for man who hacked Palo Alto Online

Posted on June 14, 2019 by Dissent

Sue Dremann reports the follow-up on a hack that occurred in 2015 and that was previously reported on this site.

The 36-year-old man who hacked and temporarily shut down Palo Alto Online and other Embarcadero Media websites nearly four years ago was sentenced Wednesday in San Jose federal court to time already served, one-year of home incarceration with electronic monitoring, three years of supervised release and $27,130 in restitution to the company.
