Orange County Computer Hacker Arrested
After pleading guilty to federal charges in November for hacking into NASA computers, Jason Allen Diekman of Mission Viejo, Calif., was arrested a second time this morning on federal wire charges.
Diekman was taken into custody at his home by special agents representing the Federal Bureau of Investigation. He is scheduled to make his first court appearance on wire fraud charges this afternoon in United States District Court in Los Angeles.
According to the criminal complaint, Diekman's associates attempted to make three wire transfers through Western Union to Jason Diekman of Orange County. The issuing credit card company authorized only one of the three transfers, which was blocked by Western Union security. Diekman was later identified as one of the callers.
