(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Todd Miller, a suspect for hacking into Sony's major gaming online servers has been sentenced under house arrest but not for hacking.

He was sentenced to one year house imprisonment, for destroying evidence to his possible arrest. He appeared in court on the 13/05/2013 due to the obstruction of evidence.

If the FBI find any evidence on his hard drives leading to his part in the hack, he can face up to a $250,000 fine and a maximum of a 20 year imprisonment for the 2008 attacks.

The 2008 attacks followed by numerous others had cost the Japanese company millions of dollars in damage, as well as effecting other services and more than 70 million users at the time.

Todd was accused of the 2008 sony attacks by the hacking-collective known as KCUF. However, without his computers, the FBI cannot prove his assistance in the hack.

So what does NGU think? Are these punishments too harsh for one guy? Or do you think Todd deserves it?

I find it really funny how everyone assumes microsoft and all these other companies are so "safe" from hacking. Truth is, pretty much anything that hits the Internet has a certain level of vulnerability. NOTHING is completely safe and if you actually try to look, you'll see that even "almighty" microsoft isn't immune to such attacks. Recently even their high level/ranking execs accounts got hacked into. The only difference is that they obviously have better PR that hides these facts from the general public, but if you look, you will find. And before everyone starts writing me off as another Sony "fanboy", I am and I'm not. I brought my PS3 about a year after launch and have been using it every since. However, I've also owned many Nintendo systems and even an original Xbox. My Xbox still "works" but it doesn't seem to like to play disc. I never got a 360 because most of the games I wanted to play are on both systems and PS3 has better hardware. Now all I have to do is wait, because the MS "fanboys" are sure to pounce!

he deserves it..

I honestly and firmly believe that he deserved it.

Had he of jailbreaked the ps3 or found helpful things i would of said no he doesn't deserve that because if you own a console you should be allowed to do what you want and if we want to jailbreak then let us but what he has done is totally wrong sony have lost a lot of peoples trust from that attack and lost a lot of money to and he deserve to go to prison. I don't support this side of hacking on the ps3 because it affected us all. The reason why im not against jailbreaking a ps3 is because its my ps3 ive brought it so there for i can do what i want to do with it hence why i have a progskeet in it

Sheeit. Sony is really strict about hacking and modding. But like others have said, shit like that can't slide by.

Is this for the thing that took down ps3 servers for 2 weeks a few years ago?

I wondering that too. Was it the same person who stole our info and credit cards?

1 year house imprissonment is not too much .
