ALL INACCURACIES ARE AP's. -------- APf 06/11 1536 Hacker Sentenced BALTIMORE (AP) -- A computer hacker has been sentenced to a year and a day in prison for stealing information from American Telephone & Telegraph and its subsidiary Bell Laboratories. Leonard Rose Jr., 32, an unemployed computer consultant, pleaded guilty in March to one count of sending AT&T source codes via computer to a hacker in Illinois, and a similar wire fraud charge involving a Chicago hacker. Rose was once a member of a nationwide hackers' group called the Legion of Doom. He originally was indicted on charges of computer fraud and interstate transportation of stolen property, but those charges were dropped under a plea agreement. U.S. District Judge J. Frederick Motz on Monday ordered Rose to sell his computer equipment, which was seized last year in a raid on his home in Middletown, and to tell potential employers of his conviction. He is to begin serving his sentence July 10. The judge did not order restitution to AT&T because Rose has what one of his attornies called "a negative net worth."
