A teen managed to hack into Venezuela's government website:
CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) -- A 17-year-old has been detained by Venezuelan authorities after hacking into multiple government Web sites and posting playful photos of President Hugo Chavez and his close ally, Cuba's Fidel Castro, on some of them.
The boy modified 23 Web sites -- including those of the vice president's office, the National Guard and the investigative police -- between December 30 and 31, Oswaldo Guevara, the investigative police's head of computer-related crimes, said Friday.
He signed off on the photo-postings and other cosmetic changes made to the home pages with his hacker name, "J41ber", and home telephone number. The modifications had included photomontages of Chavez and Castro, Guevara said.
Local media reported the boy, who was living in a poor neighborhood in western Carabobo state, was hoping his actions would win him a job with the private telecommunications company hosting the Web sites.
I wonder what the pictures looked like? Were they similiar to the ones we have at the top of this blog?
