Pentagon computer hacker arrested in Spain
A Spaniard who hacked into a Pentagon Internet site at the Point Loma naval base in San Diego has been arrested, Spanish police said yesterday, acting on a complaint by the US embassy in Madrid.
Police, who did not give any details of the hacker’s identity, said the attack on the site had "seriously compromised the functioning and security of a maintenance dry dock for nuclear submarines."
The hacker was part of a group who caused a reported $500,000 of damage to the subs’ security and information systems, police said.
