Hi all,
IMHO, reading other person's e-mail seems not so large
problem, in this case.
I think that the arrested lady told an ISP person to change
password of another psrson's.
That "abuse by social engineering" may be the main reason
of the arrest.
Unfortunately, I don't know the detail of this issue, and
uh, I'm not an native English speaker.
So, it's very difficult for me to explain.
Sorry for my TERRIBLE English.
Regards, from Japan.
