FUKUSHIMA -- A woman in her 30s who illegally used her boyfriend's online username and password to access an Internet game and delete his game data faces charges, police said.

Police reported the woman, of Takaoka, Toyama Prefecture, to the Fukushima District Public Prosecutors Office accusing her of violating a law banning illegal access. She has apparently admitted to the allegations against her.

"I did it as revenge for breaking up with me," police quoted her as saying.

The man, who is in his 20s, did not suffer financially because of the woman's actions, but she deleted items such as weapons and clothes that he had spent time collecting in the game.

Investigators said the woman accessed the online role-playing game "Lineage" using the man's username and password in about April last year.

"Lineage" is an adventure game in which players fight enemies with characters such as knights and magicians. Players can type messages to each other while they are playing the game, and can have their characters team up.

The woman and the man reportedly met each other through the game in the autumn of 2003, and started a relationship, actually meeting each other, but they soon broke up, police said.

"Lineage" is operated by a company in the Tokyo Metropolitan area. (Mainichi Shimbun, Japan, Jan. 20, 2005)

Maybe because the sad little man who had his work deleted by a sad little woman wouldn't shut up about it...
This is another one of these things where I think, geez I've done far worse to people on games, why aren't I in jail yet. Seriously if someone did that to me I'd just be p***ed off at them, and nothing more than that.
People, keep your passwords secret, please...:p

Man... thats pretty bad.. can you put in his place?? like u used hours and hours of your life playing that game and then one stupid person makes all that hours of your life get in the air...it may doesnt look that bad but it is... time is precious people...


RE: Women faces charges for deleting ex-boyfriend's game data by user27089 on 01-25-2005 at 06:08 PM

I have to agree, but that time on this 'lineage' game is actually time wasted, what does he get from the game? Nothing... an internet girlfriend and a courtcase :lol:...
