Trial of tsunami website hacker drags on
The trial involving the alleged hacking of a charity website set up to raise funds for victims of December's Asian tsunami disaster has been delayed yet again while witness reports are compiled by computer forensics experts.
Daniel James Cuthbert, 28, from Whitechapel in East London has been charged with one offence under section one of the Computer Misuse Act following what police called an "unauthorised" attempt to access the Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) website on New Year's Eve. At his first appearance at Horseferry Road Magistrates court in London back in February, Cuthbert pleaded not guilty and was released on unconditional bail until April pending submission to the court of a report by an IT security expert witness.
