The 17-year-old is suspected of infecting the website with a virus which affected dozens of Internet users in various Russian regions. One Internet user reported the virus to the Moscow police department’s interior directorate, who in turn informed their colleagues in Mordovia. The boy, quoted by the Komsomolskaya Pravda newspaper, said he only wanted to have fun. The head of the police’s high-tech crimes department said the suspected hacker may get a suspended sentence. In 2004, 98 similar crimes were registered; in the first half of 2005 over 150 were reported. _________________________________________ Attend ToorCon Sept 16-18th, 2005 Convention Center San Diego, California www.toorcon.org
