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?

    This looks like hierarchy to me.

    Anyway, I say live and let live. There's just no reason for the government to put his nose in other peoples business.

    I think the army/fbi/government should welcome people trying to crack their computers. They should give out prizees for people who find holes ala Knuth and errors.

    Which would you rather have- "evil" albeit boastful white-hat crackers "on the loose" or gov/mil computers that are insanely easy for terrorists to get into ?

    So- to everyone whining about "ohohohoh they did something illegal- they should pay...." SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU ARE WRONG!

    heheheh Had to get it out of my system.

    Well does the government have the right to know that I'm cheating on my wife? I don't think so.
