A 17-year-old has been detained by Venezuelan authorities after hacking
into multiple government Web sites and posting playful photos of President
Hugo Chavez and his close ally, Cuba's Fidel Castro.

The boy modified 23 Web sites — including those of the vice president's
office, the National Guard and the investigative police — in late
December, said Oswaldo Guevara, the investigative police's head of
computer-related crimes.

He appended his hacker name — "J41ber" — and home telephone number on
the photo postings and other cosmetic changes made to the home pages, and
the modifications included photomontages of Chavez and Castro, Guevara
said.
