6-Month Sentence for NASA Cracker

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the be-careful-who-you-crack dept.

lunartik noted an AP story running on a 6-month sentence given to Gregory Aaron Herns for cracking into the computer system at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center. 'Herns told federal agents he was looking for computer space to store movies he'd downloaded. It took hours for technicians to find the problem, fix it and patch the system's security holes.'"

  1. confirmed: I just shat myself by confucio-licious · · Score: -1, Troll

    I can't believe I just took a shit in my pants at work. What the fuck? I cant stand up and take it to the restroom, because I am wading in a puddle of feces at this very moment. Any change in my seating position will send my poo spilling down my legs and into my socks and shoes. There is no way I can play this off as a fart. I can hardly see straight! How am I possibly going to explain this to my Supervisor when she comes over here to ask me what I just did in the presence of my employer? She'll make me drop trau in front of everyone again. There it is. The person in the cubicle to the right of me just asked if I could smell "that". I gotta go.

    Bullshit. It cost to investigate and fix. Simple as that. Those are damages from an economic view.
