A federal judge in Houston sentenced a 2006 Texas A&M computer science graduate Tuesday to five months in prison for hacking the Aggie computer system.

U.S. District Judge Kenneth Hoyt also ordered 23-year-old Luis Castillo to serve five months of house arrest, to be followed by three years of supervised release.

Castillo had admitted in September to hacking into the A&M system. He had faced up to five years in prison for recklessly accessing and causing damage to the computer system.
