TAIPEI, Taiwan -- A male suspect was
arrested on May 1 for hacking into a popular local classic music
website, the Criminal Investigation Bureau (CIB) announced yesterday.
The police raided the apartment of the suspect, surnamed Shih (施), and seized his computer.
Investigators allege that the suspect used the computer in his hacking attempts.
During initial investigations, Shih confessed to the police that he
hacked into the website's customer database and made unauthorized
changes to customer data, the CIB said in a statement.
Shih also confessed that he has used a hacking technique called SQL injection to attack the website's database.
SQL injection is a code injection technique that exploits a security
vulnerability in an application's software, the CIB said.
The
investigation was launched by the bureau after it received a report from
the website's operator who said its site was hacked in March.
The CIB urged local website operators to stay on alert regarding similar hacking attempts.
