Third DraftKings Hacker Sentenced to 18 Months in Prison
A third man charged for his role in a 2022 hacking attack on the sports and betting website DraftKings has been sentenced to prison, the Justice Department announced on Tuesday.
The DOJ has not named the targeted site, describing it as a fantasy sports and betting website, but its description of the attack matches the 2022 credential-stuffing attack targeting DraftKings.
