Man Gets 12 Years For Phishing Attack On L.A. County Court Computers
A 33-year-old man was sentenced Monday to a dozen years behind bars for hacking into the Los Angeles Superior Court computer system and using it to send millions of malicious phishing emails designed to retrieve employees' banking information. Oriyomi Sadiq Aloba was also ordered by U.S. District Judge R. Gary Klausner to pay restitution and a special assessment totaling $50,000, and to serve three years under supervised release following his 145-month federal prison term. However, the judge indicated that Aloba would probably face deportation proceedings immediately after prison. Aloba was found guilty in July in Los Angeles of 27 federal counts, including conspiracy, wire fraud, unauthorized access to a protected computer, and aggravated identity theft. The Katy, Texas, resident was taken into federal custody after the verdict was read.

A young man pleaded no contest Monday to assaulting a special-needs student in Long Beach -- an attack captured on cell phone video and posted online -- and was immediately sentenced to eight years in prison.

Metro Plans Updates On North San Fernando Valley Bus Rapid Transit Project
The Metro Board of Directors will review the proposed North San Fernando Valley bus rapid transit project this week, months after it became a hotly debated issue in the recent election for the northwest San Fernando Valley's LA City Council seat. In June, Metro released an alternatives analysis study with a proposed route from Chatsworth Metrolink Station to the North Hollywood Red Line and Orange Line station, with some variations along the way. In the following weeks, the agency has received “voluminous” public feedback from critics and supporters of the transit system. At issue has been an option in which the bus — similar to the Orange Line — would run down the middle of Nordhoff Street. That prospect touched off vocal opposition earlier this year during Metro meetings and in the race for the City Council District 12, which John Lee — who was opposed to the project — won.
