Although the suspect is denying the charges, a 16 year old British boy has been arrested by a joint effort between the FBI and British police.
• Leaked the personal details of tens of thousands of FBI agents and US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) employees.
• Hacked into the AOL emails of CIA director John Brennan.
• Hacked into the personal email and phone accounts of the US spy chief James Clapper.
• Broke into the AOL emails of the FBI Deputy Director Mark Giuliano.
The boy is suspected of being the lead hacker of Cracka With Attitude, who calls himself Cracka. However, the teenager has denied being Cracka, saying "I am not who you think I am."
He is being charged with:
• Conspiracy to commit unauthorized access to computer material contrary to Section 1 Computer Misuse Act 1990.
• Conspiracy to commit unauthorized access with intent to commit further offenses contrary to Section 2 Computer Misuse Act 1990.
• Conspiracy to commit unauthorized acts with intent to impair or with recklessness as to the impairing operation of a computer contrary to Section 3 Computer Misuse Act 1990.
"I am innocent until proven guilty so I have nothing to be worried about," the teen said. "They are trying to ruin my life."
