If I had penetrated the bot net, provided full documentation on the incident and cleansed the drones or controller I would be placed in jail for 30+ years.

- jonknee 13y agoIf you raided a business and confiscated all their files/servers you would also be facing charges. There are a lot of things the FBI can do that you cannot do.
- adrr 13y agoIf you do it under a business entity and for profit, you don't goto jail. Just get a fine. Good example was the sony rootkit or all toolbars/spyware that use browser exploits to install their software. Even though these are clearly a violation of unauthorized access laws.
- greenyoda 13y agoAgreed, but your business entity probably has to be big enough to afford very good lawyers (and maybe have political connections) to avoid criminal charges. I doubt that a small startup could get away with what Sony did.
