A Wichita man who hacked into 13 U.S. Army computers to steal credit card 
numbers and account information was sentenced to five years in federal 
prison, the U.S. Attorney's Office announced Thursday.

Matthew R. Decker, 21, was sentenced Monday by U.S. District Judge J. 
Thomas Marten after pleading guilty in July to reduced charges under a 
plea deal.

Decker pleaded guilty to one count of accessing a protected computer and 
one count of possession of unauthorized credit card account access 
devices.
