AT&T Hacker ‘Weev’ Sentenced to 3.5 Years in Prison
- IanDrake 14y agoWho are these jurors? A lot of people want to blame the legal system, but what we have is a problem with our citizenry. It seems many juries don't understand technology enough to form an opinion in cases like this. Also, juries in general don't seem to understand how jury nullification can work to properly constrain our government.
- pasbesoin 14y agoWhere are the AT&T executives who are being sent to prison? They exposed the data on a public interface. Weev didn't "hack" anything. He visited a sequence of public URLs. He may have hesitated, but he did the right thing. He outed this... corporate malfeasance. Those of us watching closely observe what this tells us about trusting both our "corporate citizens" and the government.
