20-Year-Old Enters Prison for Historic Breach, Ransoming of Massive Student Database

20-year-old Matthew Lane sent a text message to ABC News as his parents drove him to federal prison in Connecticut. "I'm just scared," he said, calling the whole situation "extremely sad."

The people most frequently mistaken for lazy aren’t the ones who never worked hard — they’re the ones who worked so hard for so long without acknowledgment or recovery that their system shut down the way any system shuts down when it’s been running past its limit and nobody thought to check the gauge
