WASHINGTON: A Romanian hacker nicknamed "Guccifer" who helped expose the existence of a private e-mail domain Hillary Clinton used when she was US secretary of state was sentenced on Sept 1 to 52 months in prison by a federal court in Alexandria, Virginia.
Marcel Lazar, 44, who used the alias online, had pleaded guilty in May to charges including unauthorised access to a protected computer and aggravated identity theft after being extradited from Romania.
