Teen accused of hacking into AOL NEW ROCHELLE, N.Y. (AP) -- An 18-year-old high school dropout has been charged with computer tampering after hacking into the internal computers of America Online and altering some programs. Jay Satiro was arrested and his computer confiscated Wednesday night after AOL officials contacted authorities. A complaint filed against Satiro said the teen-ager altered AOL data and programs that would cost about $50,000 to repair. AOL spokesman Rich D'Amato refused to give details of what was altered or how long the intrusion went undetected. He said the intrusion ''really should mean absolutely nothing for America Online members.'' Satiro's mother posted $5,000 bail. He did not return telephone messages seeking comment Thursday. ''Jay's a genius, but his common sense is a little low,'' said his 15-year-old brother, Bobby. First-degree computer tampering carries a maximum sentence of five to 15 years in prison.
