Karim Baratov was sentenced for his role in the massive Yahoo credentials breach that exposed more than 1 billion records to criminals. He pleaded guilty to nine charges stemming from the breaches. He admitted to attempting to hack at least 80 Web mail accounts on behalf of co-conspirators, and to hacking more than 11,000 webmail accounts in total from 2010 through March of 2017. The government had argued for a longer sentence on the grounds that nation-state hacking must be considered more serious than “average” criminal activity.”]
