| Romanian NASA hacker gets suspended sentence
Nov 10, 10:21 AM (ET)
BUCHAREST, Romania (AP) - A Romanian computer programmer who hacked into computers used by the U.S. Navy, the Department of Energy and NASA has been convicted on Romanian charges and ordered to pay thousands in damages.
Victor Faur, 28, was also given a 16-month suspended prison sentence, his lawyer said Monday. The state court in the western city of Arad also ordered Faur to pay damages totaling $238,000 to the three U.S. government departments for hacking into their systems between Nov. 2005 and Sept. 2006, his lawyer, Sorin Bretotianu, said by telephone.
Bretotianu said the court convicted Faur on Thursday under a 2003 law making it illegal to break into an information system without authorization and to change, delete and alter data. Faur was tried in Romania because he hacked into the systems from his home in Arad.
