US soldier gets 70 months in prison for extorting 10 tech, telecom firms
A former U.S. Army soldier received a 70-month prison sentence for hacking and extorting at least 10 technology and telecommunications companies over a 20-month period ending in December 2024. The case demonstrates criminal liability for intrusion and extortion activities targeting critical infrastructure sectors.
Why it matters: Tech and telecom firms were targeted; practitioners should review access logs and incident response procedures to detect similar intrusion and extortion patterns, and ensure breach notification processes are current.
