But he allegedly broke into those systems without permission. That puts him in violation of Cybercrime laws. I feel sorry for him, because he did allegedly report the weaknesses to the admins and he could have just read the data and not told anyone and used the information for his on purposes. So his intentions were good, to plug security holes by finding them and telling the admins about it. But he is doing it the wrong way, without permission. He may want to think about pleading guilty and making a deal to get reduced charges. This will make him famous and when he gets out of jail and ends probation, he can become a security consultant. Otherwise they may try to make an example out of him and charge him with a full pentalty and any other charges they can think of. But then the places he broke into didn't use good security practices and didn't apply the latest updates. Personally, I wouldn't put a machine on the Internet that contains sensitive data on it that only my company should have access to like contact information, credit card numbers, etc. [ Reply to This ] « Re:Mixed feelings on this issue by Daedalus-Ubergeek (Score:1) Saturday September 06, @11:30AM o Re:Mixed feelings on this issue by Orion Blastar (Score:1) Saturday September 06, @05:11PM. © LI reply beneath your current threshold. « Re:Mixed feelings on this issue by ratboy666 (Score:2) Saturday September 06, @01:00PM o Cybercrime by Orion Blastar (Score:1) Saturday September 06, @05:15PM o 1 reply beneath your current threshold. « Jayson Blair?
