An anime-involved idol and singer has been arrested for hacking her agency’s website after falling out with the management, who happened to be her ex-boyfriend.
The 26-year-old idol and singer (now described as “unemployed,” despite live performances throughout 2011 and as recently as March) released a CD under the name of “OKiTA MAKO” in 2011, and was engaged in a variety of music and anime-related vocal work.
According to her family, her boyfriend ran her agency and acted as her manager, and she in turn assisted with company work and made the company’s homepage.
However, in late 2010 their relationship soured and the couple broke up, at which point the trouble began.
For her part, the fallen idol claims “the financial trouble amounted to criminal conduct on his part” and “we were engaged and living together, but he started seeing other women and drove me out of our home.”
Dissatisfaction with his infidelity and lack of payment apparently motivated her to take revenge, and in March of 2011 she accessed his company’s site from a Tokyo Internet cafe, and defaced its homepage with “slanderous” statements alleging “this is a black company” and “the CEO is a womaniser.”
After the company complained, Tokyo cybercrimes investigators eventually brought charges of illegally accessing company systems, and she was arrested on the 11th.
She admits the charges of unauthorised access, but says she “has forgotten the details” of what she did.

Well, I applaud her for her guts. Not many idols would dare to even do that.
Not many 'idols' would even know what HTML or PHP is in the first place.
Bitch is a L33t one, lol.
I think I'm in love...
aye very true!
Hacking? *falls over laughing*
No - she had passwords and access to the site in the first place. She did the work on the site and as it was stated, maintained it.
It's like saying "man charged for grand theft for taking [his] computer when he moved away from home. His parents were not at home at the time the thief stole the system."
Now, if she'd bypassed security protocols through 'alternate' means - THAT would have hacking (or scripting, depending on the methods, of course) and it would become cracking (CRiminal hACKING) once she'd bypassed security through alternate means AND done the damage she did.
By definition alone it is actually classified as hacking if you're not supposed to have access, regardless of whether you already knew the passwords or not.
That is like giving someone the keys to a car and saying they stole the car when they take it out for a drive.
if she wasn't supposed to have access then they should have taken it away.
That is a separate issue and as such has no bearing on this case.
Precisely. This would be better described as Libel, Defamation of Character, Internet Vandalism, and Abuse of Power.
That being said, I doubt any Jury could blame her for what she did when he was cheating on her and not paying her for her work properly anymore. Hell, he was probably using her money to take those girls out.
Uh no. Hacking is exploiting a computer's or network's weaknesses.
Nope.
Most famous hackers relied on their targets stupidity to obtain credentials. In this case - her boyfriends (not changing login/pass after dumping someone who maintained site?!).
Damn..poor hacking skills.
Rule #1: The best hackers are the ones you don't know!!
Rule #2 stop dating duchebag guys.
Rule #3: Never do business with a family member or lover.
rule #3
grew a dick and fuck hhis girlfriend
rule #34
I just fapped to this whole comment thread.
Wait you do understand that pussy attracts the biggest dicks and the biggest dicks doesn't mean in size but assholely doushe baggyness right? Dating girls that date doushe bags is a no no.
A great hacker is like a ghost in that they can go into a system look for what they want and leave without leaving a trace that they were there.
Except, your hacking skills does not matter when you leave a message “the CEO is a womaniser." which will point directly to you.
She should have hired a real hacker to do it for her. This is more like nagging skills.
Rule #1: If anyone uses the word hacker, as "someone who breaks into computer systems", then clearly, he doesn't know what he is talking about.
Rule #1.5
"Don't cop to water even if you're standing knee-deep in it."
Yeah, realistically you an only trace a cyber crime to a computer. There's no way to tell who used it if it was a public terminal.
All of the net cafe require registration of personal information to use the computers now, in an effort to find perpetrators like this.
public terminals usually require ID to use them now (at least in the cafe'S I've used in Japan).
They will take note of your ID and the terminal that you sit at.
Rule #7: Dump the loser, come to America, meet and marry a nice American man who will love you long time.
lol i misread "OKiTA MAKO" as "OKiTA MANKO"
teehee~
And that's why the saying goes: Don't mix business with pleasure.
Far too often it'll end up blowing up in your face.
I c wat u did thar
Well, this story was just perfect for a double entendre.
I just couldn't resist.
ultimately people should never get into relationships with their managers but least she took a bit of a fight to him, he seems like a huge dickhead
All crazy chicks make their ex boyfriends look like huge dickheads when they talk about them. I would not take the words of a vandal on faith.
She made the website after all, so not surprised she could gain access. The BF sounds like an asshole.
>ctrl+f
>'chiu'
>'negi'
>No results.
>Disappoint.
Broader interpretations of hacking will probably include gaining any unauthorized access, but the word is somewhere in the "slang origin" spectrum and those are (1) less clearly defined (2) less consistently interpreted (3) more subject to cultural redefinition.
Even that "culture" is vague. Should it be everyone? That is, the layman expecting Hollywood's imagery of rapid typing. Or should it only be the jargon's own community? That is, the guys who know an SQL injection doesn't mean DOS interfaces and green The Matrix text.
tldr bitching about semantics on the internet is stupid yet a popular pastime
"and defaced its homepage with “slanderous” statements alleging “this is a black company” and “the CEO is a womaniser.”"
Libellous. And it has to be a lie to be libel. Good luck with that case Boyfriend.
In Japan it does not have to be a lie to be libel.
Libel is defamatory by definition. If it's true, then it's something else.
This guy called in a bomb threat a the hospital up the street from me twice because he was mad at his girlfriend who happened to work there.
... and according to the images her real name is Katou Maiko
So what's her name then?
hell hath no fury.... as they say
Why don't guys understand the pitfalls of workplace romances until it's too late? Never have a relationship with someone you share a job with, not even as a "friend with benefits".
As far as psycho ex-girlfriends go, this was pretty mild, no?
Otaku are good at computer stuff,just look at ghost in the shell,fine example
It's not MAKO, is it?
It it is then that means no third episode of Koe de Oshigoto.
(And I like MAKO...)
...and Saki: Achiga-hen.
Dont worry, its not her.
No, it's not her; the anime voice actress MAKO's surname is Sakurai and she's only 25.
Well as long as her female parts were not involved she should be ok eventually.
