BOSTON — A federal judge here sentenced computer hacker Albert Gonzalez to 20 years and a day in prison Friday for theft of credit card numbers from the Scarborough, Maine-based Hannaford Bros., Dallas-based 7-Eleven and Heartland Payment Systems, a New Jersey-based card payment processor, according to an AP report.
Federal Judge Douglas Woodlock ordered that the term run concurrently with a 20-year term Gonzalez received from a different judge Thursday in two related cases that involved TJX Cos., BJ's Wholesale Club, Barnes & Noble, OfficeMax and the restaurant chain Dave & Buster's, the report said.
Around 4.2 million credit card numbers were stolen from Hannaford, which reported the security breach in March 2008.
