Arrest in Cisco Code Theft
Kozar_The_Malignant writes "The BBC is reporting that an arrest has been made in the case of the stolen Cisco code that was posted to the internet last May. Approximately 800 MB was posted to a Russian security website. No name has been released and details are rather thin."
No name has been released
Just because you have no name, it doesn't automatically mean you're guilty.
The old people are in jail from being caught when they were young.
Yes. It's what one finds under the bonnet of router*
*pronounced 'root-er'
Fancy a scone?
Russian officials have identified the suspect as a 75-year-old deranged homeless man named Dmitri. Dmitri has never seen a computer or even heard of computers or the internet, and upon being arrested declared himself to be the reincarnation of Czar Nicholas II. Russian authorities state that Dmitri is the ringleader of every single former Soviet-bloc hacking and IP theft operation, which he was running from a cardboard box under a freeway overpass, and once he's been put to death following a speedy closed-door non-jury trial, which takes place in about twenty minutes, all Russian-based criminal activity on the internet will cease. Officials are hailing the arrest as a triumph for the Russian criminal justice system and the dawning of a new era in East-West internet-based relations. Dmitri's friends, two of whom are imaginary, are protesting by wrapping themselves in some copper wire they found and then trading it for vodka.
You are in error. No-one is screaming. Thank you for your cooperation.
[It always seems] to be younger people who get arrested for these kind of acts [..] Is it because the the younger ones aren't as bright and therefor don't cover their tracks as well? Or is it because as you get older, the appeal of these kind of things drops?
You wouldn't believe how old some of the world's top hackers and crackers are. For example...
The Queen Mother didn't die.
In fact, it is little known that she was an u83r1337 h4x0r whose skills reached terrifying levels during her "lifetime". However, wary of the risk of getting caught, and not exhibiting the carelessness or egotism of youth, she decided the only way to practice these skills to their full extent was to fake her own death.
It is rumored that, post-"death", she is working as a black-hat hacker on behalf of Microsoft, and that her alias is qqqqmutha ("four 'q' mother").
The Queen Mother is 104.

That's because the older ones have discovered girls.

I've just signed legislation that'll outlaw Russia forever. We'll begin bombing in five minutes.

Before you mod me funny, think, perhaps I was insightfully funny?
