Supposed tsunami charity hacker charged

Sebastian sez, “The guy reported above as being ‘jailed for using a non-standard browser‘ has now been charged.”

Daniel James Cuthbert, 28, of Whitechapel in East London has been charged with one offence under section one of the Computer Misuse Act following an unauthorised attempt to access the Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) website on New Year’s Eve.

The alleged hack was detected immediately and the Metropolitan Police notified, which led to the arrest of Cuthbert on 20 January where he was bailed while police examined computer equipment seized during a search of his home.
