A 21-year-old California man was sentenced today to 57 months in prison for 
hacking into hundreds of thousands of computers and renting the network of 
hacked PCs out to spyware companies and to people who used the network to 
send spam and launch crippling attacks against Web sites.

"A lot of people thought [Ancheta] would simply get a slap on the wrist and 
never get any real jail time," Aquilina said. "My hope is that this sentence 
will deter others from using botnets to commit crimes, especially the 
youthful ones who commit these crimes and think they're immune from 
prosecution, that they'll never get caught."
