 Chinese Hackers Get Death
 Reuters 

 8:55 a.m.  28.Dec.98.PST -- SHANGHAI, China -- Two hackers who broke into a
bank computer network and stole 260,000 yuan (US$31,400) have been sentenced
to death by a court in eastern China, the official Wenhui Daily said on
Monday. 

Hao Jinglong, formerly an accountant at the Zhenjiang branch of the
Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, was condemned to death, as was his
brother, Hao Jingwen, the newspaper said. The Yangzhou Intermediate Court in
Jiangsu province also confiscated 40,000 yuan from Hao. 

The two opened 16 accounts under various names in a branch of the bank in
September and later broke into the branch to install a controlling device in
a bank computer terminal, the newspaper said. 

They used the device to electronically wire 720,000 yuan in non-existent
deposits into the bank accounts. Afterward, they successfully withdrew
260,000 yuan from eight different branches of the bank, the newspaper said. 

All the money has since been recovered, the newspaper said, without giving
further details.
