T-ARA Management to Drop Charges Against 17-year-old Hacker
Core Contents Media, the management company for T-ARA, announced that it will drop all charges against the high school student who hacked its home page.
On May 16, the company stated, "We have requested the cyber police department to drop further charges against the 17-year-old hacker. It is evident there was no malicious intent behind his wrongdoing and was mainly out of curiosity and competition with his peers. He has apologized and asked for forgiveness."
According to Core Contents Media, the hacker turned himself in to the cyber police department and came in for an investigation. He visited the company with his mother and offered his apology.
"Although the company suffered a grave damage due to one person's dangerous curiosity, the high school student's genuine apology and promise to never let it happen again were adequate to wrap up this unfortunate incident," Core Contents Media added.
Just a day after the company's announcement that it will formally investigate the hacking event with the help of cyber police department, the incident has come to a close.
