Kentucky hacker receives a six-year prison sentence for trying to fake his own death.

The Washington Post reports Jesse Kipf pleaded guilty to computer fraud and identity theft charges for using a doctor’s login to falsify a death certificate and attempting to sell access to death registry systems.

US attorney Carlton S. Shier IV called it “a cynical and destructive effort, based in part on the inexcusable goal of avoiding his child support obligations.”
