So wait- thousands of people are openly confessing to "hacking" into protected computers via unauthorized access methods? Isn't this a criminal offense when perpetrated over state lines, a violation of the computer fraud and abuse act..? And how about fraud, conspiracy, illegitimately stealing services, and the like? Meanwhile, OTHER people-- security researches, trolls, whoever-- some maybe have told the media about private data being shared on open links-- they get to go to jail. It's almost like criminal laws are selectively enforced against people who corporate and powerful special interests don't like, and flagrantly ignored when broken by members of the establishment.
