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.

1st!
Idolhacker the new Idolmaster :)
nice one :D
Also it's amazing how back then it was all about scratching cars with keys, putting sugar into the fuel tank and stuffing exhaust pipes with potatoes...
Now women are evolving their methods of revenge and branching out into technology and hacking our websites...
kinda scary O_o
Only if you're a douche.
Good luck with that. The only way into my computers is with a $5 wrench.
Damn..poor hacking skills.
Rule #1: The best hackers are the ones you don't know!!
Rule #2 stop dating duchebag guys.
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.
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.
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 #1.5
"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 #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 #7: Dump the loser, come to America, meet and marry a nice American man who will love you long time.
Somehow a 26 year old singer/seiyuu hacking does not add up...
Sounds more like she had the password from back when they were still dating which makes it his fault for not changing it. Hacking and defacing should have different consequences.
Don't judge a book by it's relatively pretty cover.
Pragmatically, it's easy for us to speculate this is just overblown hyperbole on behalf of the press concerning computer crime.
But hottish gals can love computers too. One of the best coders I ever met was a model grade beauty.
Yes, and I was in a college C++ class back in the 90's with a hottie. This however is someone who uses her voice for a living and likely started in her mid teens.
I will still bet this is vandalism not cyber attack. If Japan is anything like the US with computer laws the punishment is much more severe for the latter. Hyperbole matters.
Most hackers start way younger. I don't see the problem.
LoL what a silly hoe..
One does not simply hack to get into agency. There is evil there that does not sleep.
"She admits the charges of unauthorised access, but says she has forgotten the details of what she did." ~ That'll happen with a drunken cyber rampage alright.
it's not hacking, she had the access to the server anyway.
Leave motoko kusanagi out of this. The media calls it hacking, in reality she logged in to their hosting provider using the username/password that she had from when she worked on the website originally.
High five, if you can log in to godaddy.com you are not only a hacker but comparable to motoko kusanagi. Website designers everywhere rejoice, you have officially surpassed the best hackers ever portrayed in anime. Next she will blow spit balls and be described as a Saito in the making.
Now that's an idol I can get interested in.
A regular Motoko Kusanagi in the making....if she hadn't gotten caught, at least. But even Kusanagi made mistakes I guess.
It's not hacking if you do it quickly.
It's not illegal if you don't get caught!
It's not hacking if you don't use an ax.
lol i misread "OKiTA MAKO" as "OKiTA MANKO"
teehee~
Well, I applaud her for her guts. Not many idols would dare to even do that.
aye very true!
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...
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.
if she wasn't supposed to have access then they should have taken it away.
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.
That is a separate issue and as such has no bearing on this case.
Uh no. Hacking is exploiting a computer's or network's weaknesses.
That is like giving someone the keys to a car and saying they stole the car when they take it out for a drive.
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?!).
>and she in turn assisted with company work and made the company’s homepage.
>she ... made the company’s homepage.
So, if you made the site, have passwords and access, and if you do something with this site because you don't get paid and all, it's "hacking"? WTF?!
No. Then again, exploiting security holes to gain access isn't hacking either.
Dependent upon how the law is written, which is often vaguely, then the answer is yes.
It won't be hacking as understood by those who are more tech savvy, but then again, when is the last time you've met a tech savvy politician?
Considering that they're the ones who write the laws, generally speaking anyway.
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.
