Arizona Man Sentenced For Cyber Attack Which Impacted Emergency Responders

An Arizona man who admitted hacking into government website in two states, including Wisconsin, has been sentenced to 20 months in prison.  Randall Charles Tucker had been accused of carrying out a cyber attack which interrupted communications equipment for emergency responders in Madison and two Phoenix suburbs.  The March 2015 incident came three days after Madison police shot an unarmed man.  He pleaded guilty to a charge of intentionally damaging protecting computers in Madison.  In exchange for the guilty plea, charges for the Arizona attacks were dismissed.
