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."

    If they are 'helping' the hacker to gain entry (by making there systems less secure than they would be) Isn't that aiding and abetting?

    And how can it be a 'crime' if your deliberatly letting someone to you?

    It's like leaving a pile of gold on your front door step and then screeming blue murder when someone takes it.
