FBI Investigates Swedish Hacker

Via The Local.se.

A 19-year-old man from Uppsala was found guilty on Monday of having gained unauthorized access to the computer networks of several Swedish universities and colleges. The teenager is now being investigated by the FBI, who suspect him of hacking American network giant Cisco.

The man was just 16 when he hacked his way in to what police described as "pretty much every college in Sweden". Svea Court of Appeal gave him a suspended sentence and ordered him to pay total damages of 181,467 kronor ($28,100) to several of the colleges and universities.
