By The Associated Press Special to CNET News.com A 15-year-old Michigan boy has been charged with breaking into at least three NASA computer systems and altering their Web sites. The teen-ager posted images related to a hacking group called Electronic Souls, authorities say. Stephen Nesbitt, who investigates computer break-ins at NASA's Office of Inspector General, said the teen never got access to any sensitive information. The boy, whose name was not released because of his age, allegedly broke into NASA systems at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., and the Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., in January. Authorities say he also broke into a U.S. Department of Energy system at Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque, N.M., in January too. The boy is charged with unauthorized access to computers, a felony punishable by up to five years in prison. He is being detained in a juvenile facility until a March 28 pretrial hearing at the Family Division of the 27th Circuit Court in Newaygo County, Mich. http://news.cnet.com/news/0-1003-200-5133603.html Teen should have hack into groom line at Area 51 ;-) Jose
