A New York man who helped authorities infiltrate the world of computer hacking and disrupted 300 cyberattacks that included the United States military, courts and private companies was given a greatly reduced sentence and allowed to walk free. Federal prosecutors had sought leniency for the hacker, Hector Xavier Monsegur, citing what they called his “extraordinary cooperation” in helping the Federal Bureau of Investigations. The man was part of the group Anonymous and used his knowledge of the shadowy hackers to disrupt planned attacks.
