An IT engineer received a three-year suspended prison sentence on Wednesday after invading a network server and stealing users' data, Beijing Times reported on Thursday. The 30-year-old engineer, surnamed Wang, worked as a security testing engineer at a local company. He hacked into another network company's server and took data over two days in August 2013 to impress colleagues with his technological prowess.
Wang was detained by the police in December and charged with illegally accessing computer information.
