Woman Arrested Over Virtual Revenge
A 43 year-old Japanese woman has been arrested for allegedly hacking into the game MapleStory, where she virtually killed her online ex-husband.
The woman, who worked as a piano teacher, was arrested at her home in Miyazaki specifically for illegal access to a computer and manipulating electronic data. She could face up to five years in prison, and when the police questioned her she responded with, “I was suddenly divorced, without a word of warning. That made me so angry.”
