A Richmond woman has been charged with hacking the computer of BayWatch 
RI Marine Towing in Warwick.

Rhode Island State Police arrested Kimberly Tefft, 42, of 512 Kingstown 
Road, last week, charging her with intentional accessing and damaging a 
computer, a felony and misdemeanor computer trespass.

State police said Tefft is a former employee who was laid off from the 
marine towing company in November of 2009. They said she was told she 
was not going to be taken back in April.

Police said a representative of BayWatch RI Marine Towing contacted 
authorities in April, after a hired Webmaster reported that the 
company's website had been hacked. The damage to the website and the 
cost to recreate it was estimated at $2,000, without counting lost 
business.
