TOKYO =96 A 43-year-old Japanese woman whose sudden divorce
in a virtual game world made her so angry that she killed her
online husband's digital persona has been arrested on suspicion
of hacking, police said Thursday.
The woman, who is jailed on suspicion of illegally accessing a
computer and manipulating electronic data, used his identification
and password to log onto popular interactive game "Maple Story"
to carry out the virtual murder in mid-May, a police official in
northern Sapporo said on condition of anonymity, citing department
policy.
"I was suddenly divorced, without a word of warning. That made
me so angry," the official quoted her as telling investigators and
admitting the allegations.
The woman had not plotted any revenge in the real world, the
official said.
She has not yet been formally charged, but if convicted could
face a prison term of up to five years or a fine up to $5,000.

Boy, I bet he's glad he didn't marry her for real. He'd have been
better off going riding in the rain that sit on his ass playing games
on the net...or on usenet for that matter.

I'm sure she can pay any fine with virtual money and serve time in an
on-line jail.
