A hacker suspected of infecting thousands of personal computers with malicious software to obtain private financial information will plead guilty to fraud under a plea agreement, the U.S. attorney's office said.
Under the deal filed Thursday, Jason Michael Milmont, 19, agreed to plead guilty to a federal charge of unauthorized access to a computer to further a fraud, according to a statement from the U.S. attorney's office.
