Tokyo police have served a new arrest warrant to a 17-year-old boy. They say he admitted to hacking into the systems of a school board in southwestern Japan. The boy was previously brought to Tokyo and arrested for uploading illegal programs that gave people free access to pay TV.
Police say they checked the boy's computer and other electronic devices at his home in Saga City, and they found a large amount of data they believe is from a senior high school in Saga Prefecture. It includes the names, addresses and the school performance of students. Usually, only teachers can access the information. Police say they found traces of his unauthorized entry into the system, and they say he admitted to hacking into it three times.
