Hacker uses Internet cafe to access KPU site

JAKARTA: A witness in the trial of hacker Dani Firmansyah
confirmed that the defendant had used one of his computers to
break into the General Elections Committee (KPU) website.

Heru Dwiarta Hernata, owner of Warna Internet cafe in
Yogyakarta, said that Dani used one of the cafe's computers after
Fuad, a staffer of the cafe, gave him the password.

To elude tracking and cover up his tracks, Dani allegedly
accessed computers in the Internet cafe and in Thailand, before
he finally hacked into the KPU website.

Heru, who did not know Dani beforehand, said that he only knew
about the incident after the police came to his cafe to
investigate the case.

The trial will continue on Oct. 5 to hear opinions on the case
from telecommunication, Internet and legal experts. -- JP
