23-year-old Student, Daniel Stratman, Sentenced for Hacking
A 23-year-old student at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln that hacked into the systems of the educational institution and accessed student records, account information and passwords, has been sentenced last week to six months in prison.
Daniel Stratman breached the university’s computers from his apartment in Lincoln at least seven times in one month. The report does not mention what happened to the sensitive details he accessed or whether he made modifications to the records.
The incidents were noticed by the officials in late May in 2012, who informed the authorities. After seizing Stratman’s computer and completing forensic examination of the device, the police found evidence that linked him to the breaches. At the moment of the arrest the student was in his senior year.
