Ryoichi Nakayama, 47, a clerk at Takachiho University in Suginami-ku, Tokyo, is accused of violating the anti-hacking law. "I committed the crime because I'm no longer able to do computer-related work," he was quoted as telling investigators. Nakayama used his own computer and a secret password to illegally access the university's server on over 100 occasions between October and December last year. He looked at e-mail sent to colleagues and made its bulletin board inaccessible, investigators said. Nakayama was hired as a computer expert at the university in 1998. However, the university transferred him to its library as a clerk in May last year after holding him responsible for defects in its computer system's security network. _________________________________________ ISN mailing list Sponsored by: OSVDB.org
