I like your first analogy. Your second analogy, on the other and, seems to me to justify the action. I think Macy's would thank you rather than call the police, but that's just my opinion.
- plg 12y agomaybe they would thank you. Imagine though the day after, they had noticed security camera footage of a masked intruder wandering the store, and then taking merchandise out the door. They can't identify the intruder. They call the police. There is an investigation. They spend $$$ on a new security system. People are fired. Then some time later you wander in with a smile on your face and tell them how you were the one who cracked their system. I can see a scenario where they are furious with you and call the police, telling them that you have just confessed to a crime. Then police then say, hey buddy you committed a crime, you confessed to it, and now you are trying to say you did it "for a good reason". Good luck with that.
- tzakrajs 12y agoBad analogy in this case because the school had no idea that their FTP server was even attacked in the first place. Better analogy to what happened: Imagine you steal the $300 shoes with your new fangled trick and the mall security do not notice at all. You come back the next morning with the $300 shoes in-tow and then they call the police.
