Charges of Cybertreachery
A network administrator from San Diego faces up to 10 years in prison on charges that he hacked into a database kept by the University of Southern California.
The database, which contains sensitive information about a decade's worth of USC applicants, was kept in a password-protected portion of the university's online application system. But in a criminal complaint, campus officials say that the network administrator, Eric McCarty, used his home computer to sneak into the system last June. (CNET News)
