Helsingin Sanomat - International Edition : "The head of data security of a large international credit company is suspected of transferring more than EUR 200,000 of his company's money to the wrong bank account.
Helsinki Criminal Police have questioned a 26-year-old Helsinki man suspected of computer hacking and aggravated fraud. Police say that the crimes took place in the company's offices and in an apartment in Helsinki�s Kallio district in early June.
The man was held under remand for several weeks. Two others are also suspected of having been involved in the caper.
The case demonstrates how easily unprotected wireless local area network (WLAN) connections can be used for criminal purposes without the knowledge of the subscriber. The case could be the first in Finland in which a WLAN connection was used for criminal purposes.
The preliminary police investigation is in its final stages, and prosecutors will soon take the actions of the three suspects under consideration for the possible filing of charges. The three have been released from remand, but two of them are under orders not to travel, pending a possible trial."
