US Busts Military Network Hacker

yorgasor writes " KATU has an article announcing the case of a mysterious hacker who has broken into roughly 100 military networks has been solved. The hacker is a British citizen and authorities were considering extradition for the case. Although no networks containing classified information were compromised, they do consider the hacker to be a professional rather than recreational due to the large number of networks he hacked."

    Too bad I was wasting a post a minute ago. Oh well, enjoy this instead!

    Jon Katz has a new book out. Yup, and its not about the amazing prospects of the Internet and how it will CHANGE DEMOCRATIC PROCESS FOREVER. Nope, that's passe now, as Jon figured out about a year after the rest of us. Nope, this time he's taken to writing some Cat-Fancy wannabe story about his dogs. Think it's a joke? So did I, until I saw this Slashdot banner ad. Disclaimer: I have not read this book, nor do I intend to. This expose is based solely on what I could unearth from Amazon.com

    The book is titled A Dog Year: Twelve Months, Four Dogs, and Me . In this (undoubtedly) touching and heartfelt book, Jon reflects on the death of his beloved Labradors, whose "chosen work was to reflect on the state of the world, lick neighborhood kids, and accompany [him] through midlife." Hmmm.

    And apparently this isn't the first time Jon's worked his tongue between the collective buttcheeks of the braindead Oprah's Book Club yuppies. In 2000, he published Running to the Mountain: A Journey of Faith and Change , which is a "spirtual autobiography" about (yawn) his midlife crisis. According to the reviewer, Jon was unhappy in his life despite having "...a good job, a good family, and many friends." The solution to this problem, as practiced in the book by Katz, includes "help[ing]his best friend prepare to be a father [and] deepen[ing] his relationship with his dogs." Dear Lord.

    As longtime Slashdot readers, we've all wondered why a fifty-year old man who obviously has very little understanding of technology continues to hold an editorial position at the site. How someone who consistently writes like a freshmen college student bullshitting his way through a paper continues to pound out article after article of inanities.

    UPDATE: Jon Katz is banished from Slashdot! Maybe if I don't mention him, he won't come back!

    this man was caught before he could have caused serious damage to the western world Firstly he wasn't hacking into anywhere where he could cause any damage and secondly after 100 hacks I think its safe to say he wasn't really out to do anything that damaging. And anyway I would like to know how you manage to justify calling him a terrorist, he didn't gain access to any classified networks, he didn't destroy any of the networks he broke into and most importantly I fail to see how any of his actions could possibly result in terror of any kind.

    This is NOT an uncommon scam by law enforcement. It's generally done if there either HAS been difficulty capturing a suspect or it is BELIEVED that there will be difficulty. Local police will sometimes hold "contests" with wanted subjects as the "winners". It's actually kinda funny when a guy comes in thinking he's won concert tickets and he's arrested for an outstanding warrant, then STILL asks if he really gets the tickets. (I've witnessed this very thing)
