Israeli police acting at the request of the FBI have
arrested an Israeli youth for allegedly hacking into and damaging a
police computer system in Pennsylvania, authorities said Wednesday.
The 19-year-old suspect was released on bond after a hearing Wednesday
in the southern city of Beersheba, said police spokesman Gil Kleiman.
He would not give the youth's name. The hacking destroyed some records
in the computer system of the police department, Kleiman said, adding
that he did not know which department in Pennsylvania had been
affected.
Kleiman said the suspect may be charged with computer fraud.
The suspect told police he had no idea what he was doing and did not
know that he had entered the police computer system.
Israeli police have in several instances, at the request of the FBI,
arrested citizens suspected of hacking computers of U.S. companies and
agencies.
