American G.I. Indicted On Hacking Charges

By Yoo Soh-jung, Staff reporter

The Seoul District Public Prosecutor's Office yesterday indicted an
American
soldier without detainment for hacking into Korean Internet sites.

Pfc. Robert Baer III of the U.S. Army was charged with hacking into the
Internet systems of major communications companies, media agencies,
schools
and academic institutions on about 90 occasions.

Prosecutors said Baer allegedly joined the international hacking group,
"We
Hate People," in April, and installed hacking programs and changed the
home
pages of the Internet sites.

To conceal his crime, Baer deleted the log-on files of the Web sites
onto
which he connected, prosecutors said.

On one occasion, Baer allegedly logged onto an Internet server of a
local
junior high school and randomly altered its system files, they said.
