German teen 'sorry' for hacking Lady Gaga's computer
A teenage German hacker says he's sorry for stealing pop songs from Lady Gaga, Kelly Clarkson and other singers - some previously unreleased - and selling them online.
Deniz A. - whose last name has not been released - told Bild newspaper in an interview that he and a friend hadn't set out to do anything wrong. The 18-year-old says: "I'm sorry for everything I've done - I never thought it would go so far... we were only interested in the music."
Charges are yet to be filed. Authorities say the two allegedly used a Trojan Horse malware to hack into the artists' computers for about 12 months before being discovered and earned more than €10,000 in illegal sales.
