I'd hesitate to call Weev a researcher. With the AT&T iPad 'hack', which is what he was arrested for, he wasn't looking to expose AT&T's brutal security and get it fixed, he was looking for lulz. He scraped the email addresses from a public-facing website and dumped them. Now, none of that constitutes hacking or, in my mind, accessing data illegally. He shouldn't have been arrested or charged with anything, but to say he's a poor noble researcher fallen victim to the system is a bit misleading.
