Four alleged hackers, supposedly responsible for breaking into thousands of websites including the NASA homepage, have been arrested in Chile. Police say that the four suspects, called the "Byond" squad, have been under surveillance for the past eight months by a global collaborative law enforcement effort that included the U.S. as well as Israel. The alleged hackers are being charged with electronic sabotage and could spend up to five years in prison.
