Maybe we can use this to help the government bring the sentencing of website defacing crimes back down to Earth alongside well known crimes like physical stealing and vandalism. If the government wants more top-flight hackers then maybe they should understand that defacing a website is evidence of a deficient company website rather than an evil person who needs to be punished 10x normal. They will get what they want, because they will reach into your back pocket to compensate the good hackers in short supply.
