Hack the Army, Brag About it, Get Raided
SunCrushr was one of many who submitted this. A security company called ForensicTec decided to explore the U.S. government's computer systems, with particular emphasis on the Army. They talked to the press and had their fifteen minutes of fame. And surprise surprise, they immediately got raided by the FBI. What did they expect?

The One Rule Of Chess You'll Ever Need: Don't play someone who carries a kit in their bookbag.
Don't hack the military unless you are a hostile foreign power, and even then it's not recommended.

Federal law enforcement authorities searched the computers of a San Diego security firm that used the Internet to access government and military computers without authorization this summer, officials said yesterday.

So it looks like those ForensicTec computers aren't secure enough
ForensicTec officials said they stumbled upon the military networks about two months ago, while checking on network security for a private-sector client.

Rent-a-cop company raided after beating up govenment officials
San Diego, CA
Officials at SecureTech expressed surprise over an early morning FBI raid. For the past few months, SecureTech had been waylaying public officials and beating them to a pulp. The raid came just hours after a Washington Post article mentioning the beatings.
Brent Clueless, SecureTech spokesperson, decried the search. "A few months ago, while installing video cameras in a local mini-mall, we realized that some government officials had woefully inadequate security. Some of them drove the same route home every day, and a few of them even left their front doors unlocked at night. By sneaking in and severely beating in their own houses, we hoped to draw attention to this problem and maybe gain some positive publicity for our security firm."
"We only continued the break-ins and beatings because we were surprised that it was so easy, and we were curious about just how much truly malicious people would be able to get away with, " Clueless continued.
Cheers
