A man in London was arrested for attempting to hack the Tsumani donation. But according to boingboing, here is what happened:
For donating to a Tsunami appeal using Lynx on Solaris 10. BT [British Telecom] who run the donation management system misread an access log and saw hmm thats a non standard browser not identifying it’s type and it’s doing strange things. Trace that IP. Arrest that hacker.
Armed police, a van, a police cell and national news later the police have gone in SWAT styley and arrested someone having their lunch.
Out on bail till next week and preparing to make a lot of very bad PR for BT and the Police….
Now, lets not jump into conclusion yet (It is his words vs the police & BT) but if it is true, it is totally silly!
