21-year-old gets 12 months for hacking Facebook account | ZDNet
21-year-old Gareth Crosskey of the U.K. has been sentenced to 12 months in jail for illegally accessing a Facebook account belonging to an unidentified individual in the U.S. The Brit was accused of hacking into the American’s Facebook account on January 12, 2011. The nature of the relationship between the two is unknown.
After being contacted by the victim, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) began looking into the case last year.
