In December 2010, a group of hackers logged into the Los Angeles Times’ website and altered an article about tax policy, essentially turning the piece into gibberish by replacing the author’s words with phrases like “Chippy 1337” and “Suck it up.” LA Times staff noticed the alterations and reversed them after about 40 minutes.

A couple of weeks later, on Christmas Day, four gang members in L.A. shot a 25-year-old woman to death in front of her 3-year-old daughter. 

Surprisingly, if a court pushes for the maximum penalty in the hacking case, the sentencing outcomes for certain people involved in these two crimes could be remarkably similar.
