Nicholas Moore, who pleaded guilty to hacking the U. Supreme Court’s electronic document filing system dozens of times over several months, was sentenced on Friday to a year of probation. Moore had also hacked into the network of AmeriCorps, a government agency that runs stipend volunteer programs, and the systems of the Department of Veterans Affairs, which provides healthcare and welfare to military veterans. The man bragged about his feats on an Instagram account named @ihackedthegovernment, where he posted the personal information of the people he had hacked. Moore used one of his victim’s credentials to then access the U. Supreme Court’s electronic document filing system, AmeriCorps, and the Department of Veteran Affairs. He was facing a year in prison and a fine of $100,000 in damages. Prosecutors later asked for only probation
