ID thief who scooped data on 200 million Americans jailed for 13 years

A Vietnamese national whose websites put personal information on over 200 million US citizens up for sale has been sentenced to 13 years in prison.

Hieu Minh Ngo, 25, pleaded guilty in March 2014 to operating what is described as "a massive international hacking and identity theft scheme," after being arrested on entering the US in February 2013.
