ZADAR, Feb 19 (Hina) - The news of three high school students
from Zadar having used the Internet to enter Pentagon's data
base in search of interesting information and without criminal
intentions drew numerous reporters to Zadar. #L#
They found the young hackers at their "Franjo Petric"
high school (mathematics and computer sciences centre).
One of them, V.M. said that he had surfed the Internet on
2 February and entered the Pentagon's data base.
He admitted that a warning had come up on the screen,
telling him that it was not permitted to look at further data,
but, being curious, he had searched further and found
information on the Anderson nuclear base in the United States.
"The data was compressed and needed to be read out, so I
do not know what is in it, but it was very interesting," V.M
said.
He added that he had not been aware of the consequences
until the Interpol police showed up a month later and searched
his discs and computers.
Another member of the trio said that it had not been his
fault that his code had been used to enter the Internet, which
was how the Interpol traced the breach in Pentagon's data
base.
He said he hoped that the police would give back his
computer that they had confiscated.
The third hacker did not attend school on Wednesday due
to a cold.
