Ex-Webmaster Arrested, Accused Of Hacking College of Southern Nevada

Via Fox5Vegas.com.

Police have arrested a man in connection with hacking into the College of Southern Nevada, blocking the university from its own site.

Albert Catafamo has been charged with eight counts of unlawful use of a computer. Catafamo was the former webmaster for CSN, police said.

A few weeks prior to the attack, university officials released Catafamo from his position. This caused the CSN site to be shut down for several days.

In what authorities call a retaliatory attack, police said Catafamo hacked into the CSN Web site and rerouted users to another unauthorized site.
