The U.S. authorities have arrested a Miami resident who they said made more than $1 million in a hacking scheme involving the resale of Internet telephone service.

The suspect, who was arrested Wednesday, is accused of surreptitiously routing calls through the lines of legitimate Internet phone companies, saddling them with the expense of carrying the traffic while he pocketed the connection fees from customers. A second man was arrested in Washington State and charged with aiding in the scheme.
