Computers Seized In Hacking Investigation

Austin police have seized four computers in the department's first investigation into computer hacking. A computer company checking out a home P-C in the shop found a virus and discovered e-mail records showing the virus was deliberately spread. Police have questioned four teenagers and say two have confessed to being part of a group that infiltrated nearly 20 computers. The police don't think the perps got hold of any sensitive information.
