The state prosecution on Tuesday indicted two computer hackers and one
of their accomplices on charges of stealing cyber money worth 16.4
billion won ($15.3 million) by infiltrating one of the largest online
game firms.

The Seoul Central District Public Prosecutors=A1=AF Office said the
suspects pocketed the largest amount of cyber money ever obtained in
hacking crimes.

Investigators said the suspects allegedly broke into the online game
site to steal cyber cash, which can be exchanged for real money, and
sold it to cyber brokers on Sept. 24-27.

Prosecutors said that suspects plotted the crime beforehand through
closely reviewing the company=A1=AFs electronic payment system and
conducted practice runs beforehand.
