US police have arrested a teenager from New Mexico for allegedly hacking into NASA computers in April last year.

Police have accused Jason Schwab, an 18 year-old from Albuquerque, of computer abuse and conspiracy to commit computer abuse. Officials say he created false accounts and modified documents after compromising the NASA network at the Ames Research Center in Northern California.

In a report on MSNBC, Schwab's attorney Ted Martinez is quoted saying Schwab is "good and honourable" and "took no part in the computer abuse".
