17-year-old hacker arrested for KPN-hack by Dutch goverment

The High Tech Crime Team of the National Crime Squad in the Netherlands has arrested a 17-year-old boy on suspicion of hacking into KPN.
The 17-year-old is suspected of hacking at KPN held on 16 January. He was arrested last Tuesday. The police seized a encrypted computer, two laptops and data carriers. During the hack the hacker obtained access to hundreds of servers from KPN. Possibly because of poor security of the company itself. There was controversy when details were published on the Internet, but these were from another hack, namely shop Babydump.nl

The boy used the aliases xS, and Yui Yoshioka. On a chat channel of Korean students he would have bragged about the digital intrusion. The cyber team followed him for weeks on the internet. The boy is therefore suspected of hacking the Tokohu University in Japan, the University of Trondheim in Norway and the KAIST in Korea.

Gmail & Yahoo India emails will be monitored by the force of the govermental law

Looks like the Government Of India is really after the digital communication in India. Internet content providers Yahoo, Gmail and others would be asked to route all emails accesed in India through the country even if the mail account is registered outside the country. In a written statement filed in a civil court here, Yahoo India has dubbed a suit filed against it and several other websites alleging that they hosted objectionable content as “motivated” and an “abuse of the process of law.”
