'Hacker' Held Over U.S. Navy Breach
An 18-year-old suspected Spanish hacker who allegedly breached the top-secret computer security of a U.S. Navy base in San Diego has been arrested, according to the Spanish Civil Guard.
The alleged hacker "seriously compromised the correct operations and security of a maintenance dry dock for nuclear submarines" a statement said on Monday.
U.S. Navy computer security specialists started an investigation when they detected illegal access to a U.S. Department of Defense computer at Naval Base Point Loma in San Diego. They later determined the cyber incident had originated in Spain, the statement said.
The Spanish suspect was arrested last week in the southern provincial capital of Malaga, on the Mediterranean coast, where he lives.
