This kid has been posting these for fame (it's the same guy that posted the Daimler leak). I guess it's all fun and games until he finds himself in prison

- elmo2you 6y agoThat is indeed often the case with young narcissists (I don't know if it applies to this person, don't know him/her). That said, I remember the shocking arrogance and total disregard (for anything but their own ego) of a few young privileged "hackers", who were involved in DDOS services for hire, and also for some very nasty IoT bot net (if I recall correctly). Krebs wrote about them quite a bit. I think they even got caught because of that, but not sure. They did loads of real damage, that much is certain. But instead of going to jail, they got community service. Apparently with intervention of the US government, for which they now work. Go figure.
- antihero 6y agoIDK if wanting a bit of fame and validation makes you a narcissist per-say.
- elmo2you 6y agoNot per-se, indeed. But if that urge for validation is for something that's fundamentally wrong and/or only supports an person's failure to critically assess their own actions, then it usually is narcissism.
- mirekrusin 6y agoI'm not sure you can even consider it "breaking in", it's more like tweeting that under intel.com/super-secret url you can see some internal, secret documents.
- james412 6y agoThe definition of "unauthorized access" is intentionally very broad, and ultimately depends on the kind of lawyer you can afford. Publicly taking a piss in the face of Intel and Daimler in exchange for a little lame publicity seems an incredibly dumb tradeoff
