Texas court in Dallas has sentenced Barrett Brown to 63 months in federal prison and ordered him to pay a little more than $890,000 in restitution and fines related to the 2011 hack of Stratfor Global Intelligence. Brown was arrested in 2012 and nailed with 12 cyber crime charges, including a fraud charge for spreading around the hyperlink to an IRC channel where Anonymous members were distributing stolen information from the hack, including credit card details. Brown’s supporters from across the web had been hoping he would be able to get off with his last 31 months of time in detention.
