180px-Folkpartiet_liberalerna.pngA young swedish liberal has monday morning confessed to have hacked the computer network of th eswedish social democratic party. By illegal access to logins and passwords, the young man was able to obatin important information about the strategy of the social democratic campaign. Late Sunday evening, the social democratic party handed the matter to the police and the young man turned himself in the next morning. How wouldn't Watergate look today ... far more extreme I am sure.
