Leonard Rose Jr. has been sentenced to a year and a day in prison for stealing information from American Telephone & Telegraph and its subsidiary, Bell Laboratories. Rose, 32, an unemployed computer consultant, pleaded guilty in March to one count of sending AT&T; source codes via computer to a hacker in Illinois, and a similar wire fraud charge involving a Chicago hacker. Rose, of Middletown, Md., was once a member of a nationwide hackers’ group called the Legion of Doom. He originally was indicted on charges of computer fraud and interstate transportation of stolen property, but those charges were dropped under a plea agreement. Rose was also ordered to sell his computer equipment and to tell potential employers of his conviction.
