A Romanian man, Catalin Dragomir, is sentenced in the United States to 56 months in federal prison for breaking into a computer network belonging to an Oregon state government office and then selling access to the compromised system. According to reporting summarized by multiple outlets, Dragomir previously pleaded guilty to the charge of obtaining unauthorized access and providing or selling that access. The U.S. Justice Department states the case involves unauthorized access to a computer on the network of an Oregon state government office, followed by resale of access.
One outlet also notes that prosecutors characterized the broader activity as involving cyberattacks targeting multiple other U.S. victims beyond the Oregon incident. The sources agree on the defendant’s identity, the prison term of 56 months (about five years), the Oregon state network target, and the conduct of selling access after intrusion. No sources provide additional specifics on the exact method of intrusion, the identity of buyers, or the nature of the other victims in the brief descriptions provided.
