A worker who hacked into his UN diplomat boss's email account has been jailed for three months.

The 24-year-old Egyptian was jailed in Abu Dhabi after he was convicted of breaking into a personal email account set up by a UN worker from the UAE and threatening to expose her sensitive private information, ArabianBusiness.com reports. The miscreant - named only as MN - was employed as the woman's secretary at the time he gave his victim a two-day ultimatum to meet his demands or risk the exposure of private emails and pictures.
