Please don't spread this "white hat hacker" extortion mindset to my neighbourhoods.
I don't even lock my door.
Thank you.
- jacquesm 3y agoSorry, that should have had an /s appended (I thought it was obvious given the last sentence). Fixed. Personally I've had it with the so called 'hackers'. They're just criminals. Oh and I think you meant to write 'lock' not 'look'.
- rightbyte 3y agoHeh ok ye well you never know.
- raverbashing 3y agoIt's always funny when those "grey hats" or similar "it's just a prank bros" find out they're "vulnerable" to a pair of handcuffs, or to judicial findings, or even worse things
- jacquesm 3y agoI've had a several months long run in with a so-called 'hacker' on HN who is now - fortunately - in jail for something else. This got really tedious and the lack of support was quite frustrating (to put it mildly). I'm sure he thought it was all fun and games. He's threatened swatting people on here, destroying their businesses, families and so on. And all from the relative safety of what he believed to be anonymity. Such people have no place in society and setting them loose on neighboring countries is inviting a tit-for-tat that we can all do without. Personally I think these attacks are very close to - or already over the threshold for - acts of war.
