From the website article:

Quote:Hacking passwords and employing social-engineering tactics including fraud, identity theft and harassment, Lazar stored megabytes of victims’ stolen private documents and turned them over to media outlets.

In my views, It's what he "did" with the Information he obtained that led to the prison sentence as described. A fraudulent offense alone, Is a serious crime, let alone everything else he did.

Yeah, I feel as if the Clinton hack was the only thing he'd done wrong, we'd have a much different story.

I don't know what he was expecting, going after politicians and seeking attention. Seems like he didn't even feign remorse, either...

yeah if you go after government officials after so long its its inevitable that you'll get canned

I haven't read the article In It's entirety.

So judging by this:

Quote:The Romanian hacker who first revealed that Hillary Clinton used a private email address while she was secretary of state

Is that all he did, reveal her private email address without compromising her credentials? If so, that's absolutely ridiculous that It's considered an act of hacking.

He did do a lot more, i'll try pick out the key things, i might have missed a few things though:

Lazar admitted to victimizing about 100 Americans from his home overseas over 14 months. They included celebrities, business executives and political figures

Hacking passwords and employing social-engineering tactics including fraud, identity theft and harassment, Lazar stored megabytes of victims’ stolen private documents and turned them over to media outlets. He also leaked pictures of Bush’s paintings.

Also the email thing too.

Sentence was a little harsh imo.

He has been released, 3 months early. Pisses me off slightly.
