UK police deny responsibility for poster urging to report kids using Kali Linux
- class4behavior 7y agoInteresting that this isn't getting any tracking on HN. Too much of such nonsense from the UK already? It's truly sad to see parents being encouraged to involve the police instead of informing themselves what their children, family members, are doing. This just shows by what kind of dystopian party this warning notice has been created.

- class4behavior 7y agoAh, thanks! It seems I should've tried a few more search terms.
- akadruid1 7y agoif you read to the end of the article, it's been update to say that one of the police agencies with a logo on the poster IS actually admitting to producing the poster! And these are not rural bobbies but in theory an "elite" specialist force. So when you snitch on your child, these clowns will be the "experts" conducting the investigation. You have to hope that the kids caught in this dragnet encounter someone at the CPA who knows what a VM actually is otherwise they'll be taking a plea bargain which gives them a criminal record and prevents them ever using their technical skills for a productive job.
