[pchelpers] News:FBI Hacker gets Merciful Sentence

6 months of home detention was the final verdict
By: Marius Oiaga, Technology News Editor

The FBI hacker Joseph Thomas Colon accused of illegally accessing the 
bureau's secret network in 2004, using FBI agent's password has recently 
received a sentence that spared him of jail time.
Although he was facing a potential four years behind bars for hacking 
the FBI's network while working at BAE Systems on the Trilogy project to 
upgrade the federal institution's aged IT infrastructure, Colon has 
successfully proven that his hack, while premeditated, did nothing to 
threaten national security.
