Who profits from this breach?
I have a hard time believing any sort of script kiddy would risk major jail time and a high profile arrest for hacking into a journalists laptop for no profit.
The NSA/Gubberment however, does have quite a bit to gain from this information/deletion

- dkokelley 13y agoThe thing with script kiddies is that they are not necessarily mature enough to realize and properly weigh the risks associated with their illicit hacking. It's fun and it gets them "cyber cred". Gangsters are often the same way. They risk jail time for flashy stunts that earn them respect from their peers.
- jivatmanx 13y agoA script kiddie would do as much damage / steal and leak as much information in as dramatic and public fashion as possible. That indeed doesn't seem to be the case here.
- tptacek 13y agoNo, also not true of "script kids". They do that when it suits them. You're naive if you think the only systems they break into are the ones that land on Pastebin.
