According to AFP(London), The Independent reported on January 3, 1995 that a sixteen years old boy was arrested for breaking into the computer network of US Defense Department.
The report also tells that the hacker posted documents about last year's nuclear crisis between North Korea and USA.
Does anyone know where can I get a copy of that documents ?

The boy tapped into several defense computers for seven months in what U.S. officials conceded was one of the most serious breaches of computer security in recent years, the paper said. The 16-year-old, after reading the messages, put them on a bulletin board on the Internet, an international computer network accessible to 35 million users. A British hacker who read the messages told the Independent they contained information about firing sites in North Korea and field intelligence. "He kept detailed logs of communication traffic. He really couldn't believe his luck. The Americans thought he was a spy but he told them he was just doing it for fun," the hacker told the Independent. The boy, nicknamed "Datastream" by other Internet users, was finally caught by special U.S. investigators because he left his terminal on-line to a U.S. defense computer overnight. British police arrested the boy in July and prosecutors are expected to decide this month whether he can be charged, the Independent said. In a statement to the paper, the U.S. Air Force Office of Special Investigations acknowledged the hacker could have accessed and read the Korean files.
