United States v. Stratman
United States District Court for the District of Nebraska
2014 WL 3109805 (2014)
- Written by Alex Ruskell, JD
Facts
Daniel Stratman (defendant) pleaded guilty to violating the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act by breaking in to protected computer systems at the University of Nebraska and the Nebraska State College System. The prosecution sought a sentence enhancement based on the victims’ financial losses. The bulk of the losses came from the victims’ investigation into the computer intrusion and consisted of hours worked by information-technology employees and outside investigators. The calculated losses also included costs for informing 185,000 people whose personal information might have been compromised at a cost of $308,000. Stratman challenged the court’s valuation of the victims’ losses.
