Man who hacked Finish psychotherapy center then extorted patients sentenced to 6+ years in prison

I've posted about this guy before. When he wasn't able to get a good enough return from the therapy center for hacking them and stealing the files, he started trying to extort the patients to prevent their therapy records from being made public. He was finally convicted and received six years, three months in prison. Prosecution wanted a minimum of seven years, however he will be paying restitution and he will be held in prison while he goes through the appeals process, so they're satisfied.

Sometimes the justice system does work as intended. We can hope that the time will help reform him and give him the opportunity to become a better person.

With him turning around and pursuing ransoms from therapy patients, I don't know about this one...
