Judge Refuses To Convict Hacker
Jake96 writes "A judge in Wellington, New Zealand, declined to convict a man who ran an unrequested security audit on a bank's phone systems and was charged with 'intentionally accessing a computer system knowing he was not authorized to,' according to an article in the New Zealand Herald."

Jokes aside, the reason the bank would have indeed have the man arrested was probably a mix of pride and caution. Quite understandable, but I sure hope they pay the man after all this is out of the papers.
