Student arrested for hacking online photo site

TAINAN, Taiwan -- The Criminal Investigation Bureau yesterday arrested a Tainan university student who allegedly hacked onto people's online photo albums, the Central News Agency reported.

The student told police that he could break into the accounts of members of the Wretch and Pchome photo sharing sites in just one minute.

The student reportedly posted an online advertisement offering to crack users' passwords in exchange for NT$4,000 or NT$4,200.

Users of the popular online albums should remove their private photos from the Web site to prevent them from being stolen or used on pornography sites, Criminal Investigation Bureau officer Li His-he said. Police are still investigating the case.
