(January 14, 2002 5:25 p.m. EST) - The Justice Department set up a new cybercrime unit Monday in northern Virginia to go after hackers, cyber-terrorists and software pirates. It is the nation's 10th such specialized outfit. Six full-time federal prosecutors, including three who were hired using new funding from Congress aimed at computer crimes, will make up the unit. Assistant U.S. Attorney Jack Hanly will lead the unit, which will investigate crimes in Virginia's eastern federal district. Hanly prosecuted hacker Eric Burns, the Shoreline, Wash., teenager known online as "Zyklon," who pleaded guilty to breaking into the White House Web site in 1999. The White House Web site is run from computers in northern Virginia. The unit also will focus on cyber-terrorism, which U.S. Attorney Paul McNulty said "threatens to disrupt the electronic systems of hospitals, utilities, banks, government and other key institutions." McNulty said the Justice Department set up the latest unit in northern Virginia because the area is home to the Pentagon and defense contractors, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, many Internet providers and a large number of technology firms. McNulty said prosecutors in nine other cities, including Los Angeles and Seattle, also have set up cybercrime units. ------------------------ Yahoo!
