Hacker Leaks Unreleased CERT Reports

Posted by chrisd on from the certain-errors-remain-tolerable dept.

Call Me Black Cloud writes "A hacker calling himself "Hack4Life" swiped 3 unpublished vulnerability reports from a company working with CERT and posted them to the Full Disclosure mailing list. A couple of days later, he did it again (while promising weekly leaks). Wired also has a story, including a link to one of the postings."

  1. Hacker Ethics by Blaine+Hilton · · Score: 2, Redundant

    I think this brings up an interesting point related to hackers ethics. On one hand people should know about problems so they fix their machines right away, but if there is no quick fix then perhpas its a thing for a "need to know" basis. I'm interested to hear if slashdotters think this "hacker" is doing a good thing, or a bad thing.

    You seem to have been over excited and didn't notice that it was your momma. That's if you have one. Which I doubt cause every mother would just throw you into the sewer, where shit belongs, 5 minutes after giving a birth.

    Oh yes,

    FUCK YOU!!!
