New York, NY (AP): National Infrastructure Protection Center, a division of the Federal
Bureau of Investigation, today announced the apprehension and arrest of Reid Lauring, known
on the Internet under the hacker alias: digitron.
Sources say the FBI have made this
arrest in connection with a recent computer intrusion of Harvard University's Bio-Chemical
Department computers, in which sensitive biological and chemical data was stolen and is
believed to have been sold to a unknown third party.
FBI sources also say they are currently pursuing the investigation and arrest of another
hacker, Akael Sahir Rhamaan, who also goes by the hacker alias: Osek. They say he is not
connected with any terrorist organizations, however they believe he is the ringleader in
these attacks.
In an interview with George Marshoff, a Public Relations Representative of Harvard
University, he said the data is highly sensitive and could be used to create chemical and
biological weapons if fallen into the wrong hands.
