A hacker who infiltrated the network of T-Mobile USA Inc. and accessed
personal information of hundreds of customers, including a Secret
Service agent, was sentenced Monday to one year of home detention.

Nicholas Lee Jacobsen, 23, must also pay $10,000 in restitution to
T-Mobile to cover losses caused by his acts, which took place in 2004.

The former Santa Ana resident who now lives in Oregon said he lacked
"comprehension and maturity" when he targeted the network of Bellevue,
Wash.-based T-Mobile USA, uncovering the names and Social Security
numbers of 400 customers.
