Your description can only refer to Kevin Mitnick. They threw the book at him to set an example. I remember being amazed at what a hacker he must have been. Later I read about his crimes and thought "that's all?" RIP Mr. Mitnick.

No, it's not only Mitnick. He wasn't even a teen when he was arrested.

If you want to read more a good place to start is The Hacker Crackdown by Bruce Sterling.
