Daniel Rhyne, a former infrastructure engineer, was sentenced to 32 months in federal prison for sabotaging his employer's computer systems and demanding about $750,000 in bitcoin to stop the attack. He used his administrative access to delete accounts, change passwords, and shut down servers at a New Jersey industrial company.
