Listen! If we get separated,

They may all look innocent enough

in the advertisements

but it seems that computers such as these

have been used for much more than Homework.

Two Melbourne teenagers , Simon

Snel and Mark Kaliver ,

both of Grinvud

were arrested today

charged with the theft of more than 5,000

credit card numbers from the

banks in The United States

connecting through a standard

telephone line

Johnson and Snel were able

to access the Bank's computers

on the other side of the Globe.

It appears that, they then made cash transfers,

and credit card purchases.

A Banking spokesman claimed, its the

first breach of this kind ...

Friends of yours?

- ... security systems have now been implemented , .

making any outside access to banking records

Virtually Impossible.

Local calls only.

Have you seen the news ?

- I think they were caught by the CIA or FBI some sh*t.

Ah!! that was sloppy.

They deserved it .

I'll probably go to jail you know.

- I bet I could hack into that bank.

Well, Its a race then .

They got through as easy as walking the turnstone.

They dialed up through a computer,

had a look around and hung up.

What'd they steal??

- Well it wasn't anything... nothing.

I mean,technically,they had not committed any offense.

Someone breaks into your house, just to look around, thats still Breaking and Entering.

we have got on computer crime.

Are Any of these Jokers got a computer??

No they don't.

Well, can you get me someone who has got one??

You are following me!!

- I was here first.

Technically, you are following me .

Well that could just be a sneaky trick.

- Oh yeah?? and how does that work?

If i was going to do it to someone

I'd normally go and wait where they'd go first

and then accuse them

of stalking me.

Like you just did.

- You'd make a good stalker.

What'd you do over there?

Whatever.

Maybe I'll hang out with you.

How does that sound ?
