Robert Lyttle, 21, who is known as one half of "The Deceptive Duo," pleaded guilty March 11 to five computer-hacking counts for illegally accessing the systems of the Department of Defense's Defense Logistics Information Service, the Office of Health Affairs and the NASA Ames Research Center. His illegal online activities caused $71,181 in damage, which he must pay in restitution, U.S. District Judge D. Lowell Jensen ordered Friday at a hearing in Oakland. The judge also sentenced Lyttle to four months of home detention under electronic monitoring. He will begin serving his sentence on Aug. 24. _________________________________________ Attend the Black Hat Briefings and Training, Las Vegas July 23-28 - 2,000+ international security experts, 10 tracks, no vendor pitches. www.blackhat.com
