Dutch and Australian teen arrested on suspicion of hacking

A 17-year-old Dutch boy and an Australian teenager were arrested last week in their own countries on suspicion of hacking into servers, South Korea's Cyber Terror Response Centre said in a statement.

Four Dutch investigators visited Seoul in February after a college student there reported a hacking case involving the server of Dutch telecom firm KPN. The student told investigators he had read a message in his university chat-room in which the writer claimed to have hacked into KPN. Based on information from South Korean police, Japan and Australia also launched separate investigations, it said.
