Dear Mr. Botnet, look at the bright side, your comprehensive knowledge of backdooring things so that you can rent them out to other people gives you a little insight into how things are going to be for you over the next 30 months.
As well as going to prison for 30 months, Schichtel was also sentenced to a three-year supervised release programme that he will serve after leaving jail. The supervision will tightly control his access to computers and the net. In a brief statement about the case, the US Department of Justice said Schichtel pleaded guilty to one count of selling access to 72,000 machines that formed part of a bigger botnet he controlled.
