Misconfigured Webserver, Threats to Call FBI

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the all-in-a-morning's-work dept.

the_harlequin writes "The Register is reporting that a city manager threatened to call the FBI over a misconfigured webserver. From the article: "The heartland turned vicious this week when an Oklahoma town threatened to call in the FBI because its web site was hacked by Linux maker CentOS. Problem is CentOS didn't hack Tuttle's web site at all. The city's hosting provider had simply botched a web server." "

    The guy is a real piece of work. I liked this:

    "I am computer literate! I have 22 years in computer systems engineering and operation. Now, can you tell me how to remove 'your software' that you acknowledge you provided free of charge? I consider this 'hacking.'"

    22 years in systems engineering, but he hasn't got a clue as to how web sites operate. This guy epitomizes problems we all see every day: Incompetents who don't recognize their own incompetence. Then he compounds it by being an arrogant bastard and an overbearing, threatening weenie to boot.

    Nice.

    And these are the kinds of jackasses we ELECT to have power over us.

    The guy's website provides further proof for the "low IQ and use of Comic Sans" correlation.
