The United States on Thursday slapped two extra charges against a British man accused of hacking into thousands of U.S. government computer systems, officials said.
Prosecutors in New York indicted Lauri Love, 28, on one count of hacking into the Federal Reserve and one count of aggravated identity theft. If convicted on these latest charges, he faces 12 years in prison.
He was already facing up to five years in prison and and a $250,000 fine, or twice the gross gain or loss from the offense, on each of two counts in New Jersey.
He has been charged there with hacking the computer networks of U.S. Army, Missile Defense Agency, NASA and other agencies.
