A 20-year-old man was sentenced Wednesday to 6 months in prison and ordered to pay $8,054 in restitution for hacking into the Army’s World Wide Web site.
Chad Davis pleaded guilty Jan. 4 to gaining unauthorized access to the site and altering its contents. He replaced the Army’s opening Web page with the “signature page” of Global Hell, a nationwide group of hackers to which he belonged.
U.S. District Judge J.P. Stadtmueller ordered Davis to reimburse the Army for the cost of restoring the site and to serve 3 years of supervised release after the prison term.
“This is a deadly serious business. It’s not something that’s a sandbox play tool,” the judge said.
Davis’ attorney, Jorge Gomez, said he had not decided whether to appeal.
