A daring internet attack was made that penetrated thousands of computer systems in the US, including military and NASA websites.
The FBI reported a 16- year old Swedish teenager is being questioned on the internet attack which began a year ago.
According to the New York Times, the attack was launched from the University of Uppsala in Sweden. A search for accomplices in Britain and elsewhere in Europe is being undertaken.
Investigators believe Stakkato wanted to brag about the stolen passwords in chatrooms. But other hackers may have more dangerous motives.
According to Alan Paller, the director of research at the SANS Institute, a cyber security training organisation,"If you find a kid who has done this, there will be people with economic and military motives who have done it and are not bragging."
