LulzSec's Raynaldo Rivera, a.k.a. 'neuron,' Gets One-Year Prison Term

http://yro.slashdot.org/story/13/08/09/132227/lulzsecs-raynaldo-rivera-aka-neuron-gets-one-year-prison-term

Raynaldo Rivera, who went by the online moniker 'neuron', has been sentenced to a one-year prison term, 13 months of home detention, 1,000 hours of community service and has been ordered to pay over $600,000 in restitution. Rivera pleaded guilty in October 2012 to charges of conspiring to cause damage to a protected computer after participating in the attack on Sony Pictures in 2011. The court documents note that the main motive of the Lulzsec hacking collective, and offshoot of Anonymous, during its two-month hacking rampage and attacks on corporate and government entities like the Sony Pictures, was to see the 'raw, uninterrupted, chaotic thrill of entertainment and anarchy.'
