The People's Procuratorate of Beijing's Haidian District arrested Lu
Chun, a suspect of Beijing's first hacker case on May 29.

Lu Chun, a 21-year-old sophomore in Beijing, decoded and embezzled a
company's account and password to log on the Internet by using the
downloaded hacker software. Lu not only spread this account and
password to his schoolmates and friends for visiting Internet free of
charge, he also sold it at a cheap price through the Internet,
resulting in that over 1000 people used this account surfing on the
Internet.
