Damian Frisby , a detective with the Sacramento Valley High-Tech Crimes Task Force , noted that while some of the compromised Internet service providers had chosen to cooperate with law enforcement , one , PSINet Inc. in Herndon , Va. , demanded a search warrant before taking any action.We don't want to violate anyone's rights , but it delays the process , said Frisby.

PSINet wasn't available to comment on the request.

The organizations that were compromised were "mainly in the U.S.," said Damian Frisby, a detective with the Sacramento Valley Hi-Tech Crime Task Force."A lot of them were private Internet companies, law schools and colleges, and a couple were back bone Internet providers.The hackers were able to gain root access."The facts in the case came three days after Pacific Bell Internet Services notified an unknown number of customers that their passwords had been compromised and that they have until Jan. 14 to change them.

Damian Frisby, a detective with the Sacramento Valley High-Tech Crimes Task Force, said his unit was mobilized after one of the hackers managed to shut down a Sacramento Internet service provider using one of the ripped-off accounts.

A 16-year-old Los Angeles boy has been arrested on felony charges of unlawful access and grand theft.Frisby said that at least five other teens have been contacted by police in connection with the case and that the circle of hackers may grow even wider.The hackers managed to break into the servers of as many as 26 different ISPs, businesses and schools, making off with thousands of users' passwords.Pacific Bell so far is the only one to issue a blanket request for users to come up with new passwords.Pac Bell learned of the hack attack last week.It said as many as 63, 000 of its more than 300, 000 subscribers statewide had their passwords stolen.Pac Bell said that if Internet subscribers do not change their passwords by Friday, they will be shut out of their accounts and will be required to call in to obtain a new password.In any case, the company said Internet users should routinely change their passwords every three months or so to prevent hackers from causing mischief.

El Dorado County sheriff's Deputy Damian Frisby, an upcoming canine handler for the department, said he will use his discretion when to use the dog.

"I'm very cautious on stuff like that," he said.
