FBI agents arrested a 31-year-old man at his workplace in Rancho
Bernardo yesterday on suspicion of hacking into his former employer's
computer system.

Markus Lukawinsky is suspected of downloading e-mail and password
files from the former employer.

The FBI did not release the name of Lukawinsky's former or current
employers.

A federal indictment had been handed down against Lukawinsky in New
Haven, Conn., last November, charging him with unauthorized access to
the computer and interstate transportation of stolen property, said
FBI spokeswoman Jan Caldwell.

Lukawinsky was booked into federal jail in downtown San Diego to await
a Monday court appearance. Caldwell said she expects him to be
returned to Connecticut to face the charges.
