So when you're mad at someone or a group of people, you break their stuff?
Why are we cheering for this? I'm strongly in favor of EFF, Doctorow, and others to shed light on what they did, but this the electronic equivalent of covering a building with paint of a group you don't like.
The people left to fix it/clean it up had nothing to do with it, and it does nothing to help those trying to break the system via legitimate means.
Come on HN, stop cheering for these events.
- dwild 13y agoIs it really the same? If they have backup (it's MIT.. I don't doubt they do have backup) it's probably clean in less than 15 minutes. Now they also need to fix the security issue. It's more like I know your door is broken but I use that problem to talk about another problem. Will that make you work more? Maybe yeah because you will have to fix that door NOW but in the same time, the same is true if I told only you, you would still need to fix it now because it can be a HUGE danger for you.
