A Texas man was sentenced today to 145 months in federal prison for hacking the Los Angeles Superior Court (LASC) computer system and using its servers to deliver around 2 million malspam emails.
33-year-old Oriyomi Sadiq Aloba "was found guilty of one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud, 15 counts of wire fraud, one count of attempted wire fraud, one count of unauthorized impairment of a protected computer, five counts of unauthorized access to a protected computer to obtain information, and four counts of aggravated identity theft."

Besides the over 12 years he has to spend in federal prison, the man was also ordered by United States District Judge R. Gary Klausner to pay $47,479 in restitution.
