A 21-year-old using the alias "Snoopy" was sentenced to 18 months in prison for his role in hacking DraftKings accounts in the November 2022 cyberattack.
In December 2025, the man, Nathan Austad of Minnesota, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit computer intrusion, admitting that he and co-conspirators compromised 60,000 DraftKings user accounts.
During the attack, the hackers added payment methods under their control to 1,600 accounts and stole $600,000.
DraftKings is a fantasy sports and sports betting platform where users can build teams of real-world athletes and compete for cash prizes based on their performance in actual sporting events.
In November 2022, DraftKings disclosed that hackers accessed customer accounts through credential stuffing attacks that exploited weak passwords or reused login credentials.
