http://www.boston.com/dailynews/159/nation/Teen_hacker_who_broke_into_Air:.shtml By Associated Press, 6/8/2001 20:57 BOSTON (AP) A 15-year-old Connecticut boy charged with hacking into the U.S. Air Force's computer system was sentenced to two years of probation Friday, during which time he cannot use a computer without adult supervision. The teen-ager, who was 13 at the time of the incident in March 2000, must also repay $2,000 to the U.S. government, Attorney General Thomas Reilly said. The probation also requires that he maintain a passing average at school. The boy's name has not been released because he is a juvenile. Officials have refused to disclose his hometown for fear of making him a hero among hackers. The teen-ager allegedly made his way into the system through a secure connection between the Air Force and a U.S. Department of Transportation computer at the John A. Volpe National Transportation Systems Center in Cambridge. ISN is hosted by SecurityFocus.com --- To unsubscribe email isn-unsubscribeat_private
