UFO hacker loses appeal
- froo 18y agoIt amazes me that someone who is clearly talented at cracking networks (so by inference we could say he's quite intelligent) would believe that they would just store that kind of information on publicly connected networks - if it exists at all that is.
- river_styx 18y agoHow talented do you have to be to crack a system with no password? The really alarming thing about this article is the (apparent) insecurity of our military networks.
- froo 18y agoOne system without a password? not too talented.... 97 systems across 4 different government departmental networks?... whole different ballgame right there.
- sktrdie 18y agoI believe its not really much about what he found, and it has nothing to do with "cracking networks", the security on the computers he had access was non existent. The funny thing is that they have no "proof" of the damage he caused, but apparently US idiotic laws don't require that. I feel sorry for the UK justice power and their inability to do something about one of their people fighting against unreasonable laws of another country.

- TrevorJ 18y agoI'm glad this happened, if only so that we will secure our systems better.
