So a sentence of a little over an hour and a half for stealing each individual’s case file, with horrific intentions? That seems brief.

And right back at it, guaranteed. A psychopath like this is best locked away from society forever.
Here’s another one who just got off easy.

He should have done it in the US, and joined the Republican party first. Then he’d be a victim and probably be able to raise money off the process.
In other notes, if he choked on his prison meal probably there won’t be too many people that are sad.

After I thought “How bad was the security of the database?” I read on the BBC link the rest of the story:
The boss of Vastaamo, Ville Tapio, was also convicted of failing to protect his customers’ sensitive data.
Investigations found that the databases were vulnerable and open to the internet without proper protections.
He was given a suspended three-month prison sentence last year.
The company which was once a highly regarded and successful business in Finland collapsed after the hack.
Despite the conviction, the Vastaamo case is not over as civil court cases are now likely to begin in an attempt to get some of the victims compensation for the hack.
