Former St. Louis Cardinals scouting director Chris Correa was sentenced to nearly four years in prison for hacking into a Houston Astros' computer personnel database.
U.S. District Judge Lynn Hughes levied the 46-month sentence and ordered the hacker to pay $279,037 in restitution on Monday from a federal courthouse in Houston. He was also sentenced to two years of supervised release when he's released from prison.
In Monday's sentencing hearing, Correa called his hacks "reckless," but Hughes said what he perpetrated went beyond that.
"You have made it harder for them to live their lives,” Hughes said.
