Albert Gonzalez was sentenced Thursday in U.S. District Court to 20 years in prison for his role in what is known as the largest data breach incident in history. Gonzalez and his crew hacked the computers of retailers such as TJ Maxx, Office Max, DSW and Dave and Buster’s (who used Heartland Systems card processing systems), stealing more than 90 million debit and credit card numbers.
The sentence for the largest computer-crime case ever prosecuted is the lengthiest ever imposed in the United States for hacking or identity-theft. Gonzalez was also fined ,000.
