About two weeks ago, I laid out an essay over the 'hack' of the German Bundestag in Berlin. Eventually, with all the evidence gathered....cops were pretty certain about this 20-year old student in the Homberg area (here in Hessen).
The cops got a search warrant....came to the house, and accused the kid of the crime. Political figures and journalists are all hyped up about the episode, and it's consumed a good bit of public TV crime.
So today, we come to this one last piece of the story. The cops, from the moment they detained the 'kid'.....have felt that while he's admitting to things....he just doesn't have the skill required to be a hacker.
HR (our public TV network in Hessen) talked about this today.
So the federal cops (BKA) sat the kid in a room with a computer, and asked him how he did it. Based on this 'test'....the kid failed. The cops simply state that this kid (while admitting he did it)....just isn't capable of doing the work required.
What now?
The cops might go and interview friends and the inner circle of folks that the kid knows. Based on suspicion....they can do charges against the 'kid' but he'll be treated as a juvenile and probably only get a year or two in some detention center.
Is the kid faking them? I might go and suspect that he has no reason to prove his skills. Another friend in the background? Someone could have written a page of instructions and told him how to hack in, and then the kid disposed of the instructions.
I'll just say this....it's a bit amusing to be at this point, and the cops just not believing in the admitted confession.
