Lulzsec member who hacked Sony Pictures pleads guilty
Neuron, who’s real name is Raynaldo Rivera (he also goes by royal and wildicv, if any of those ring a bell), said that he masked his IP address and hit Sony Pictures’ website with an SQL-injection attack, essentially flooding them with malicious code that breached their servers and allowed Lulzsec to make off with the supposedly secure information.
Since he plead guilty, Rivera will get off relatively easy, with a maximum prison sentence of 5 years, plus a small $250,000 fine. That’s basically a slap on the wrist compared to what Rivera’s boss, Hector Monsegur – better known as Sabu – could be facing; even after giving up his former comrades to the Feds, Lulzsec’s fallen leader is still facing a maximum sentence of 124 years and six months in prison.

Wiz-Infosec Lulzsec had an amazing run, they will definitely still be talked about in many years. It's a shame that laws regarding hacking carry such a stiff penalty. I wish the best for them and their families.

I agree. But honestly, this is pretty funny that a guy could shell Sony.
