17 year old arrested for cyber crimes

Published by

A 17 year old kid from Brisbane, Australia has been arrested for 2 counts of cracking a 'prominent' Australian ISP. The name of the ISP hasn?t been released and won?t be until the case goes to court.

Quote:
"Australian High Tech Crime Centre director federal agent Alastair MacGibbon said he hoped the arrest served as a warning to would-be hackers, and appealed to any ISPs who believed they had been hacked to contact the centre."

(As usual the popular media has the term 'hacking' wrong.)
