Man accused of Rositas e-mail hacking
POLICE have charged a former Rositas senior staff member accused of hacking into a secure e-mail account and leaking private e-mails.
The 42-year-old man has been accused of accessing the e-mail account of a Rositas general manager, and then forwarding e-mails to a number of outside sources, including The Advertiser.
Late last week, detectives from the Bendigo Crime Investigation Unit charged the Hoppers Crossing man with six counts of unauthorised access to restricted data on a computer.
He is scheduled to appear at Bendigo Magistrates Court next month.
The Advertiser understands that the man had held a senior position with Rositas before being dismissed last year.
