CHINESE PROGRAMMER SENTENCED FOR MILITARY COMPUTER INTRUSION From: FOX News 6:39 p.m. ET - May 22, 1998 DAYTON, Ohio (AP) - A Chinese computer programmer was sentenced Friday to six months at a halfway house for gaining access to a military computer that tracks the combat readiness of Air Force aircraft and missile systems. Steven Liu, 24, was also fined $ 5,000 on a guilty plea to exceeding authorized access to a computer. He had faced up to two years in prison. Liu, who worked for a military contractor in Dayton, downloaded passwords from a database at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. He said he accidentally discovered the password file and used it to try to find his job-performance evaluation. The database is not classified. It contains maintenance and failure-rate information about weapons systems and is used to make funding decisions. Air Force investigators said Liu neither destroyed not altered any information and didn't create a way to enter the system once passwords were changed. But they said the Air Force couldn't be sure he didn't supply information to others or that others didn't access the system.
