Man Who Hacked Physicians Organization Website Sentenced

Via The Philadelphia Business Journal.

A man who pleaded guilty last year to hacking into membership information on the American College of Physicians' Web site has been sentenced to three months in prison, three years of supervised release and a $10,000 fine, the U.S. Attorney's Office in Philadelphia said Tuesday.

William Bailey Jr. of Charlotte, N.C., had admitted to illegally downloading information on 80,000 members of the Philadelphia-based professional society from its Web site between January and May 2005.

Bailey ran a company that sold contact information for doctors called dr-411.com, the U.S Attorney's Office said. The stolen information did not include Social Security numbers or credit-card information.
