Re: One more down for the good guys
Agreed, unforutnately advertising the guilty plea is a double-edged sword. You present the idea that crime doesn't pay and there are repercussions but on the other hand you show that for this type of crime the sentencing is minimal.

5 Years
To really make some headway, I believe that some of the guilty hackers need to have an example made of them. If 5 years is the maximum received, then I don't think its going to divert those doing this for their livelihood to stop their nefarious ways.

“You present the idea that crime doesn't pay and there are repercussions but on the other hand you show that for this type of crime the sentencing is minimal. ” Hopefully sentencing would not be minimal, however your point makes sense.

“If 5 years is the maximum received, then I don't think its going to divert those doing this for their livelihood to stop their nefarious ways.” I think even one year would be discouraging as long as this would be a common practice. Most get away with their hacking.

Re: 5 Years
There is the loss of freedom.  An article here postulated that a successful hacker can earn $360,000 per year.  Not a bad gig if you can get it but - if caught - one cannot walk down to the deli and get coffee.  I like my home and enjoy sleeping in a good bed at night.  So there is THAT risk too.  Pardon me but ain't worth it.  So 5 years in a can somewhere is indeed major.

Re: 5 Years
I definitely agree with your sentiment personally. However, it is 5 years MAXIMUM. That's the worst case scenario, signifying that in many cases the sentencing will be less than 5 years. To some that 360K a year mark may be worth 1-3 years in prison especially with many of them taking plea deals.

The 10 Most Impactful Types of Vulnerabilities for Enterprises Today
Managing system vulnerabilities is one of the old est - and most frustrating - security challenges that enterprise defenders face. Every software application and hardware device ships with intrinsic flaws - flaws that, if critical enough, attackers can exploit from anywhere in the world. It's crucial that defenders take stock of what areas of the tech stack have the most emerging, and critical, vulnerabilities they must manage. It's not just zero day vulnerabilities. Consider that CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog lists vulnerabilitlies in widely used applications that are "actively exploited," and most of them are flaws that were discovered several years ago and have been fixed. There are also emerging vulnerabilities in 5G networks, cloud infrastructure, Edge applications, and firmwares to consider.
