YEEAAAAAHHHH!!!!!11one

In my head, you were Guile from Street Fighter with the glasses maneuver. :-)

Indeed. Locally a filthy scumbag pedophile was on house arrest with an ankle bracelet. He defeated the device, raped a 10 year old and killed her mother.

But, yeah, let's really lay down the law on a guy that exposed security flaws in computers.

time to get anonymous on there ass

Thank you! Someone over 12yo finally comments. You don't have the right to walk into a strangers house just cause the doors unlocked.

AT&T's fault is letting strangers walk into other people's homes so easily, with non-existent privacy measures. After all, those e-mail owners don't have any control over how AT&T leaves *their* door open.

He could have kept it a secret and used it for personal gain. Those people deserve to know their service provider suck at keeping their homes safe.

You are correct that AT&T should have better security but this man illegally obtained info from them. That is criminal and can be prosecuted. AT&T's failure to better secure the data does not negate this mans criminal act.

He took info that was suppose to be confidential. The fact that he did nothing with the info is irrelevant if the act (taking it) is illegal.

Also, none of what you said is an excuse for walking in. He knew it was a security oversight yet he still walked in. "The door was open" isn't a defense .

it was a massive DESIGN FLAW he told at and t and got punished for it with more time than the stubenville rapists

He planned to damage AT&T and he wanted to promote himself as something that he wasn't. He took something that wasn't his. Why are you ignoring these things?

How old are you? Rape sentences depend on victims age, severity, time held captive etc. What's you point w the two year BS?

They give two year sentences for pot in Texas. Since we are spitting out usless crap.

In some places an open door is a legal invitation.

There's nothing useless about noting that a person can physically and mentally harm someone for the rest of their lives and only get 2 years, while a hacker that stole nothing gets more. This guy breached their security and told them about it... none of the info he obtained was used to harm anyone at all (quite the contrary, rather), and even if he had that harm wouldn't last a lifetime the way a rape does.

Rape doesnt interfere with a megacorps business or piss them off so its ok in `Murica. you didnt know that?
