Not many Hackers seem to have his ethics. | . 8m curious if he is given any $$ for exposing these holes to the companies and not telling the world before fixes can be made. if | was head of of NYT I would be more than willing to cut him a fat check for his efforts. He has my respect =*} New York Times Internal Network Hacked by Anonymous Feb 28 2002 5:42AM What is this?? What is the story here? A network gets "hacked" or more accurately broken into by an : attacker that uses a misconfigured proxy. Suprise, suprise internal corporate network security is not exactly what it should be. Stop the presses, we got the scoop of the century! A network with poor user passwords! : Script kiddie does not put his tag on the web site but media gives him the much wanted attention for being an “ethical hacker" Many defacement groups also offer their help to the sysadmin, do you also consider them to be heroic whitehat security experts ? 1 did not think so... The only thing “hacked" here is the media. Who wrote the story? John Markoff ? New York Times Internal Network Hacked by Anonymous Feb 28 2002 7:41AM Just a brief comment. “Lamo notified the Times of the vulnerabilities Tuesday through a reporter, and provided them with a list of the open proxies." Why does this humble servant of all that is good and super whitehat; hacker involve a reporter before talking to the NY Times? Is he seeking attention? Does he want to have his name FBI{19-cv-1495)-161
