Chile police arrest 4 alleged hackers

By EVA VERGARA, Associated Press Writer Mon Nov 6, 5:00 PM ET

 

SANTIAGO, Chile - Chilean police arrested four suspected computer hackers

on Monday, accusing them of being part of an international group that has broken

into thousands of government Web sites around the globe in recent years.

 

Police Chief Gerardo Raventos said the group was responsible for "infiltrating"

more than 8,000 sites, including some run by the governments of Argentina,

Bolivia, Colombia, Peru, Turkey, the United States and Venezuela.

It was not clear whether the hackers were suspected of vandalizing Web pages

or stealing information. "The investigation continues to determine what the

intentions of these people were," Raventos said.

One of the suspects, as he arrived at police headquarters, shouted to reporters

that the group had acted "for fun."

Raventos said the suspects were members of a "big" international hackers'

group and had been under investigation for eight months with the cooperation

of authorities in the United States,

Israel and several South American countries.

Raventos identified Leonardo Hernandez, 23, as the Chilean hackers' leader.

Hernandez was known in cyberspace as Nettoxic and is wanted in several

countries, he added.

The other suspects used the online handles SSH-2, Codiox and Phnx, Raventos

said.

The four were arrested Monday in the capital of Santiago and the nearby cities of

San Bernardo and Rancagua. Prosecutor Mario Schilling said they could be

charged with "electronic sabotage" and face prison terms of up to five years.

SANTIAGO, Chile (AP) -- Police in Chile arrested four suspected computer hackers

for allegedly belonging to a group accused of breaking into thousands of government

Web sites around the globe, including NASA's.

The "Byond" team has been under investigation for eight months with the cooperation

of authorities in the United States, Israel and several South American countries, police

chief Gerardo Raventos said.

He said the group infiltrated more than 8,000 sites, including that of the U.S. space agency.

"These people did not act seeking money, but just for fun," Raventos said.

The four were arrested Monday in the capital of Santiago and the nearby cities of

San Bernardo and Rancagua. Prosecutor Mario Schilling said they could be charged

with "electronic sabotage" and face prison terms of up to five years.

The court gave prosecutors 90 days to file charges.

One of the suspects is Leonardo Hernandez, 23, who was known in cyberspace as

Nettoxic and is wanted in several countries, Raventos said.

Another is Carlos Amigo, known online as SSH-2. The other two, twin brothers who

were not named because they are under 18, used the handles Codiux and Phnx,

Raventos said.

A judge ordered Hernandez and Amigo jailed until charges are filed, while the two

minors were freed but were told to respond to a summons.
