The Swedish hacker who perpetrated the so-called hack of the year has been arrested in a dramatic raid on his apartment, during which he was taken in for questioning and several of his computers confiscated. Dan Egerstad, a security consultant, intercepted data carried over a global communications network used by embassies around the world in August and gained access to 1000 sensitive email accounts. They contained confidential diplomatic memos and other sensitive government emails. Details of the hack were reported on this site on Tuesday.

I would think so Mr. Security consultant. It was only a matter of time for them to get him, Should have kept his mouth shut and go through the proper channels to address the problem.
Funny thing is that im listing to a song that keeps repeating "You must be dumb", nice song.
2007 will be a great year for him, first he gets "Hack of the Year" and now lets see what he gets next.

Don't worry, though: He'll soon be offered a nice comfy job with one of the alphabet agencies. He's too good at what he does for them to let him languish in a jail cell.
Damn he F'ed up and now look at the mess he is in.
and he shouldn't have posted the e-mail accounts and passwords; that's what's landing him in jail. idiot
