Hacker Who Breached U.S. Supreme Court Filing System Sentenced to One Year Probation

Colleagues, I want to draw attention to a cybersecurity matter.
Nicholas Moore admitted hacking the U.S. Supreme Court's electronic filing system, as well as networks at AmeriCorps and the Department of Veterans Affairs. He published victims' personal data on the @ihackedthegovernment account and used stolen credentials to gain access.
Key points:
- Sentence — one year of probation; he originally faced up to one year in prison and fines.
- Attacks were carried out via compromised accounts and public disclosures.
Why it matters: the case highlights the risks of password reuse and the necessity of MFA and account monitoring.
How do you assess the adequacy of the sentence and organizations' protective measures?
