A former UBS PaineWebber systems administrator was sentenced Wednesday to
eight years and one month in prison for attempting to profit by detonating
a "logic bomb" program that prosecutors said caused millions of dollars in
damage to the brokerage's computer network in 2002.

Roger Duronio also was ordered to pay $3.1 million in restitution to his
former employer, now known as UBS Financial Services Inc., part of the
Swiss banking company UBS AG.

Duronio, 64, of Bogota was put under house arrest by U.S. District Judge
Joseph A. Greenaway Jr. until he is assigned to a prison. He had been free
on $1 million bond.

The term was the maximum under sentencing guidelines, which pleased U.S.
Attorney Christopher J. Christie.
