Swedish Teen Hacked NASA's computers

MicroPC.net - Wed 11.5.2005 klo 5.32


One of the worst ever computer hacking made is being suspect by a 16 year boy sun from Uppsala (Sweden).

Cisco Network Corporation, NASA Administration, and United States Army Government officials in United States were only able to stand by and monitor, when the systems were overtaken.

Last Spring Intruders used s.c. Troijan to access computer systems. By doing so, they were able to access passwords which allowed accessing a great deal of confidential information.

Crackers were able to download program code guiding Internet traffic from Network Corporation Cisco. Later on this code was published on Russia internet pages.

Few European people are believed of being involved to the case FBI believes.
The main suspect is 16 year old Swedish boy, which according to New York Times has been arrested.
