A 17 year old hacker from Finnmark, Norway is sentenced to 60 days on bread 'n water, with an additional $ 500 fine.
The Hammerfest court found him guilty in breaking into 33 servers with connection to companies in 17 different countries.
He claims that he always has been interested in security, on his own comp. That's why he thought it would be exiting to test the security on major computer companies in the world.
"Its easy for young people to be curious when big companies lacks security protecting their networks," the 17 year old says.
The court concluded that he had not made the intrusions for his personal profite, and let this ease down his sentence.
He has not programmed his own tools, but used hacking tools which are easy available on the internet.

The companies which the 17 year old has breaken into include:
Telenor Nextra in Norway
Telia in Sweden
Great Works Internet Inc in USA
Helsinki Televisjon in Finland

He also accessed the server to the university (nuclear fysics) in Moskva, Russia
