CHANGE OF HEART: Icelandic computer hacker changes plea on embezzlement to guilty

REYKJAVIK: An Icelandic computer hacker and former associate of Wikileaks founder Julian Assange unexpectedly pleaded guilty to embezzling 30 million Icelandic crowns (RM804,000) from the organisation. 

Sigurdur Thordar­s­son's courtroom plea is the latest twist in the saga of Wikileaks, which released thousands of secret US embassy cables in 2010 and 2011, deeply embarrassing Washington.
