Man Gets Six Years for Hacking Girls to Extort Photographs

A 32-year-old paraplegic was sentenced to six years in prison for hacking and wiretapping. Luis Mijangos hacked into more than 100 computers in a quest for financial information. He read victims’ e-mails and watched them through their webcams, listened to them through the microphones.

He was sentenced Thursday in Los Angeles at the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California.”]
