Chinese police have arrested a 19 year-old computing student in
connection with the alleged posting of pornographic material on the
homepages of several government-run web sites, according to a
report by news agency Reuters. The arrest is the first ever arrest
of an internet hacker in China.
Wang Qun, who was known by the nickname of "playgirl", was
arrested by police in the Hubei province last month.
The official Chinese state news agency Xinhua stated on Friday
that Wang had openly boasted in internet chat rooms that he had
also hacked over 30 other web sites.
