A Los Angeles man was sentenced late Wednesday in federal court to four
years in prison after pleading guilty last year to infecting as many as
250,000 computers and stealing thousands of peoples' identities and
hijacking their bank accounts.

The Los Angeles authorities said John Schiefer, 27, was the nation's
first defendant to plead guilty to wiretapping charges in connection to
using botnets.
