En man i 35-årsåldern, som misstänks för ett omfattande telefonsabotage som nyligen drabbade flera myndigheter, ställs i dag inför rätta i Södertörns tingsrätt, rapporterar Sveriges Radio Ekot.Mannen, som kommer från en kommun i Stockholms län, misstänks för att med hjälp av flera telefoner och appar automatiskt ha ringt upp telefonväxlar oavbrutet, vilket har lett till att de i många fall slagits ut, rapporterar Ekot.Sju arbetsförmedlingar runt om i landet drabbades, samt polisen i Malmö, Göteborg och Stockholm. Även telefonväxlar tillhörande SOS Alarm 112, fyra vårdcentraler i Stockholmsområdet, Södersjukhuset i Stockholm och Botkyrka kommun attackerades.– 112 är det allvarligaste fallet. Det har funnits en risk för att andra som behöver sjukvård, ambulans och polis inte skulle nå fram, säger åklagare Per Bergmark, som har utrett fallet, till Ekot.

Jean E. Sammet, an early software engineer and a designer of COBOL, a programming language that brought computing into the business mainstream, died on May 20 in Maryland. She was 89.She lived in a retirement community in Silver Spring and died at a nearby hospital after a brief illness, said Elizabeth Conlisk, a spokeswoman for Mount Holyoke College in Massachusetts, where Ms. Sammet had earned her undergraduate degree and later endowed a professorship in computer science.The programming language Ms. Sammet helped bring to life is now more than a half-century old, but billions of lines of COBOL code still run on the mainframe computers that underpin the work of corporations and government agencies around the world.Ms. Sammet was a graduate student in mathematics when she first encountered a computer in 1949 at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
