A former Pentagon hackerpleaded guilty last
week to hacking US banks in a scheme believed to have cost banks at
least $10m.
Ehud
Tenenbaum, who as "The Analyzer"
hacked more than 400 military systems when just 19, pleaded
guilty in New York last week to a single count of bank-card
fraud.
The Israeli hacker, whom former Israeli prime minister Benjamin
Netanyahu once described as "damned good" and "very dangerous", was
earlier arrested in Canada for allegedly stealing about $1.5m from
Canadian banks.
He was extradited to the US before Canadian authorities could
prosecute him where he was charged with conspiracy to commit
access-device fraud and access-device fraud.
Tenenbaum now faces up to 15 years in prison.
