UK Teen Who Hacked CIA Director Sentenced To 2 Years In Prison (gizmodo.com)
An anonymous reader quotes a report from Gizmodo: A British teenager who gained notoriety for hacking a number of high profile United States government employees including former CIA director John Brennan and former director of intelligence James Clapper was sentenced Friday to two years in prison. Eighteen-year-old Kane Gamble pleaded guilty to 10 separate charges, including eight counts of "performing a function with intent to secure unauthorized access" and two counts of "unauthorized modification of computer material," the Guardian reported.
Gamble, otherwise known by his online alias Cracka, was 15 at the time that he started his hacking campaigns. The alleged leader of a hacking group known as Crackas With Attitude (CWA), Gamble made it a point to target members of the U.S. government. The young hacker's group managed to successfully gain access to ex-CIA director John Brennan's AOL email account. The group hacked a number of accounts belonging to former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, including his personal email, his wife's email, and his phone and internet provider account. The hackers allegedly made it so every call to Clapper's home phone would get forwarded to the Free Palestine Movement.

"performing a function with intent to secure unauthorized access"
James Clapper... the chap who oversaw the largest "intent to secure unauthorized access" campaign in the history of computing? The one which targeted people all around the world for "full take" access? THAT James Clapper?
When Clapper does 3 billion counts of whatever punishment this idiot kid will get, and goes away for the rest of his life, and the other people involved do similar time, then maybe we can think about what's appropriate for the idiot kid.
Until then it's simply more "rules for me but not for thee".
This is nothing less than a miscarriage of justice.
of course the government with Israel's influence wants to nail him for that.
Either way, I was with him until he decided to modify information. Release info is one thing. Modifying it is another.
Say what you will about us, and there's a lot to be said about our government, but how many "underage rape gang" scandals have come out in the UK post Rotterham? These are scandals where the authorities knew and not only did nothing, but sometimes pursued the parents for going after the men harming their daughters.
If CWA wanted to do some good, they should have pilfered Rotterham's computers and dropped everything on Wikileaks.
If Rotterham had happened in the US, you can bet your sweet ass, the FBI would have sent a small army in tactical gear and it'd be downright biblical in the sense "and they [local politically correct pols] saw what they [FBI] did and were terrified and never again was this wickedness done in the land."
And hurt James Clapper that was appointed by Obama to be Director of National Intelligence so you know he is a good guy so attacks on him are wrong.
And why the link in TFS? Am I to interpret this as right-swing Slashdot bosses trying to slashdot the organization's servers, or left-wing BeauHD trying to draw sympathizers to the cause?
I'm no pro-Israel zealot, but I sure think the Anti-Zionists could help their cause if they more clearly repudiated antisemitism.
After this hack, they started using APK's hosts file engine. Now they're 100% secure and cannot be hacked again. It's the only security tool you'll ever need. Isn't that right, APK? Please tell me where I can download the latest version of your hosts file engine.
That was another big story from a few years back. They blocked investigation of the charges until the last documented parliament member with ties to the sex abuse had died, because MI5 had been using 'protection' for the ring of them to get favorable financing passed through parliament.

You know, full disclosure and all that conditional virile male cow excrement, I want to slight you immediately for the failure to capitalize... so and nonetheless; as the lottery recipient of the winning ticket, biologically, that paints you as a member of the planet's dominant species, you want to go down the blame the Jew's road?
You are under-performing with the cards you've been dealt. The boy hacker is just now receiving the attention he has assiduously sought.

from Obama's tro of snakes (Clapper, Brennan and Comey) that they did not illegally leak to their friends in the press corps?
All three of these men lied to the nation on national television while testifying under oath to congress. These are the snakes that all claimed no not be leakers (but have been proven to be), all claimed to not be engaged in mass spying on all Americans (which we now know they were) and all claimed to not haver spied on the then-presidential-candidate they opposed (which they are now proven to have done).
I'm personally no fan of this sort of hacking, but seriously, I have to wonder how his legal defense team could not have made some use of the fact that his targets are some of the most reprehensible and dishonest officials in recent history and would make completely unreliable witnesses.
The head of the CIA using an AOL account isn't as bad as it seems.
Brennan had an account with AOL from the beginning of the internet, and only used it for personal, trivial things. He had a strong password, and didn't reuse passwords. All his work-related communications were done elsewhere.
The "hack" was Gamble calling up AOL pretending to be Brennan, and having a sysadmin change the password.
Brennan did nothing wrong, and could not have prevented this. In fact, he even did things right by not having any business-related communications on that account.
I don't know the specifics of James Clappers' hack, but it was very likely the same. Assuming Clapper didn't have work-related stuff on his personal E-mail (and there's no reason to suspect that he did), this was nothing more than some high-level people being embarrassed by a kid hacker.
...how many years Trump, sons and lawyers are going to collectively get lol?
Um... none?
You do realize that the Republicans sent a recommendation for prosecution to the AG for Hillary Clinton,
James Comey, Andrew McCabe, and Loretta Lynch, right?
And unlike nebulous charge of "collusion", the recommendation letter lays out the specific actions these people took and the specific federal laws that were broken.
You probably didn't hear about that - the MSM was pretty quiet about it.
And also note that Rep. Dana Rohrabacher claims to have physical proof that the Russians did not hack the DNC.
You knew about that, right?
Also, you do know that the original FISA court warrant was invalid on its face, so any evidence Mueller uncovers would be thrown out, right?
Also, there's been no leaks of evidence from the Muller investigation, even though everything *else* seems to have been leaked. Even when those leaks are a violation of federal law, they still happen, and yet none of them have been about evidence.
Also note that impeaching the president is an extremely high bar to clear. President Clinton was caught on camera in a baldfaced lie to congress and the people of the US ("I did not have sexual relations with that woman"), and was acquitted.
Do you think saying “I hope you can let this go” rises to that level?
You're mad.
Settle down cupcake. You know nothing about "Palestine", or Israel. And your woke morality is laughable.
and u.k. gave him up? to be tried as an adult? did he have shitty counsel in extradition process or something? that sounds a little off here. i don't think any country in europe would give up someone accused of a crime committed as a minor to the u.s, regardless of how good relations are between the countries.
Maybe he even has his pick of future employers.
Just to clarify, it's also trolls impersonating you to attack Zontar The Mindless, correct? He's being attacked by a lot of troll posts claiming to be APK, just like what's happening to ShanghaiBill.
Interesting that it's impossible to talk ill about Israel without people rabidly defending them by thinly veiled accusations of antisemitism.
How long will the CIA director be in jail for allowing this to happen in the first place?
Shouldnâ(TM)t those that allowed the âoeattackâ be equally if not more responsibile and subject to the same or stronger penalty?
I had some sympathy for him when I read the summary but since you let me know he's working on behalf of actual terrorists murdering truly innocent people, I'd rather his sentence have been more harsh and won't give him a second thought.
"There is more worth loving than we have strength to love." - Brian Jay Stanley
He'll likely be out in less than a year -- their justice system tends to be more "just" than the US's. Good, the people he hacked couldn't be a nicer bunch of "people."
You are ruining New Hampshire. The people who have lived there for generations want you to go away.
What it seems that's the same wrong approach that we have to obesity, that's instead educate for this does't happen anymore, we try remove the problem instead learn from it to don't repeat it. the director is so responsible as the hacker, because I doubt very much that he didn't click in any wrong link that gave to the hacker the means to access it. Who can guarantee also that's the only case at CIA or with this director???
Can anyone else imagine how many other hackers got access via this director or other due lack of training?
Because this kids just wanted to show off himself, imagine a more adult hacker that have more dark ideas for hacking and nobody will never know up to it's too late...
just the wrong approach been taken now
Were the CIA serious about IT security it would reward white hats who successfully broke in and penalize those inside the organization who failed to protect against that. Instead, they penalize white hats and there is little to no accountability within government agencies.
That is not a radical idea, it is the convention outside of government. We know that private companies offer bounties. Those of us who work for companies know that usually someone within the company who screws up is disadvantaged for that.
Ceci n'est pas une signature.
Muslims theocracies are bad. Christian theocracies are bad. Jewish theocracies are bad. The fervor to make sure there's enough Jewish people in Israel to be sure the Jewish maintain power makes it a theocracy to me. There's definitely a lot of countries in the region who wish all Jews killed. I understand that there's no reasonable way to placate the Muslims in the region, so even presuming Israel had actually worked to form relations with other countries in the region and assimilate the Palestinians, they'd have found some other excuse to want to kill the Jews.
It seems obvious then that the Jews in Israel, if they want to not be under that constant death threat, need to leave somewhere else because those threats aren't going away. Either that or they need to conquer the whole region. Those are basically the only two real choices. If they do the latter, the only successful way in the long-term for stability would be to not have a government that's a de facto theocracy. The current situation is just a fucking mess, though.
...in a heartbeat.
Hacking the CIA Director doesn't necessarily mean your hack-fu is incredible, but it probably indicates that your social skills are pretty good.
That's what I want in an employee. I want somebody who can walk the walk well enough, of course. But my priority is that they make people who can help the company become more successful like and respect us. That's done through the people who speak for you. They don't need to be the brightest star in the sky. They need to be that bright person you would like to work with.
I've calculated my velocity with such exquisite precision that I have no idea where I am.
Blah blah blah. Grow up, moron. A state without law is not a state, it is barbarism. And this is exactly what you and idiots like you are trying to create in New Hampshire. But you're all probably too stupid to realize it.
I'm still waiting to hear something intelligent out of the mouth of a libertarian. In all my life, this has never happened. Not even once.
Clapper appears to actively broke the law and got away with it.
this kid farts in public and is put away for life.
Justice is a fickle thing - those in power are immune.
Where exactly should the Jews go? Obviously not to your country, because you are spewing forth the kind of ignorant hate that got them to leave Europe in the first place.
"First they came for the slanderers and i said nothing."
The fervor to make sure there's enough Jewish people in Israel to be sure the Jewish maintain power makes it a theocracy to me.
It would if there were some religious test, or direct control of the government by the church (synagogue?). There isn't, though. "Jewish" is as much a cultural identifier as a religious one, and the government is essentially secular, with Muslim and Christian politicians serving in public office.
As such, calling it a theocracy is just silly. Israelis aren't worried about trying to make sure that their country is governed by rabbis; they're worried about mass migration resulting in negative cultural changes. Any massive change in the demographics of a nation is going to have a significant impact on how that nation looks and functions.
Anywhere? Obviously, the point isn't that all Jews will leave Israel. The point is the ones who don't want to see another Holocaust deciding to all concentrate to the same area just seems like a really bad move.
No, the Holocaust got them to leave into the grave. So, now the Zionists Jews of Israel--note, not all the Jews of Israel--have well learned that any culture they live in could try to wipe them out, so they need to create their own separate country where they are in control. But the paradox is that Israel exists primarily against because Zionist Jews and non-Jews in the USA and Europe have used the legitimate guilt that the USA/Europe feels they bare for the Holocaust as a basis to support Israel. If this were the US supporting Liberia and the movement to ship blacks back to Africa, we'd find it outright appalling.
PS - Thanks for calling it hate because I'm pointing out the pragmatic truth of the situation. Muslims aren't going to change overnight to welcome Jews into the region, no more than the US has gotten over racism against blacks. The only long-term path would be integration and conversion of Muslim countries to secular democracy*, but that's clearly not the objective of the US or Europe; they're looking at what's economically viable in the mid-term at best. Instead, they've created a military fortress in the area supported by western weapons.
* I'd project if a real effort was made, it'd probably take at least a couple hundred years to overcome all the convenient cultural scapegoating, but to the point where most of the violence would stop and another Holocaust could be prevented would take maybe half that time. That's, of course, extremely optimistic.
This kid managed to embarrass some of the nation's top spy agencies. They should be working on some kind of probation deal with MI5 or 6, where they keep an eye on him and he does work for NATO or something that benefits both nations, not sending him to jail.
Yes, let's just ignore the Law of Return. The government might function as a secular one, but the deck is specifically stacked to keep Jews in power.
Jewish is a culture isn't the same worldwide, so if they were so concerned about mass migration resulting in negative cultural changes, they'd make migration law based upon cultural standards, not religious ones. Beyond that, yes, near every country has some standard that tries to maintain its cultural identity. I generally consider them bullshit because the notion of a static cultural identity is bullshit.
Any massive change in time--say a couple decades--will have a significant impact on how the nation looks and feels. Again, read above.
I call it bullshit. Honest, Israel was created to be Jewish USA in the Middle-East so Jews could have their own country/army to feel safe. That they need western weapons to main superiority in power instead of numbers has made them dependent on the west to exist. It's also only further engendered a hatred that honestly won't disappear any time soon, even under the best circumstances.
PS - I know what you're really trying to get at: as Israel has adopted religious tolerance as law and matter of fact, but that tolerance only extends about as well as the US's tolerance of non-whites so long as whites feel they're in power. When Israel stops being a "Jewish State". When America stops being a "WASP Country". When the people who grow up there, no matter their religion, gender, color, etc say "I'm an Israeli/American and believe in religious freedom and tolerance" and enforce that and require that on all that migrate to the country and become citizens, then we shall be at a point I'd agree that what you're seeing is not a theocracy in any way.
At that point, it'll be a country of ideology.
You call it pragmatic, but expecting them all to leave is not pragmatic, and frankly makes you look silly. You don't need to use so many words.
"First they came for the slanderers and i said nothing."
Leaving Israel does not mean people still wpuld want to kill Jews. Just like thee are people who want to kill Muslims.
Don't fight for your country, if your country does not fight for you.
Demographics change. It's what societies do if they want to survive. There are no pure cultures, and ethnically pure states always fail.
Attempting to preserve "borders, language, and culture" is a fools errand. After an animal has been to a taxidermist, they are seldom fertile. Look at the places in the US where there are efforts to preserve a dominant culture whose time has passed. You end up with some white supremacist jackoff stripping off his clothes and murdering people in a Waffle House.with an AR-15 after complaining on Facebook about the Illuminati and the Jews.

The undercurrent to this is the reaction of various UK governments to the perceived harshness of US sentencing for these offences committed by UK citizens on UK soil.
Two years in a category C or even D jail seems appropriate.

Comforting ignorant delusions always were more popular than frightening delusions. Not less dangerous.

Once in prison, always is prison.
Even a single week changes people. A month is a personality death sentence to most people, unless they already are like that.
He will have an entirely different view on the world afterwards. One that results on behavior that, even if righteous and with the intent of improving the world, will result in a far higher likeliness to end up back in prison. Even if just because that usually happens to people unpopular with the rulers aka biggest enemies of the United Stated of America.

Gamble hacks Brennan and gets 2 years in prison. Brennan hacks congress and walks free. Nothing wrong with the justice system if you're in the top tier of a two-tiered system.
"Jewish" is one of the least meaningful identifiers there is. It can mean an adherent of the religion, someone who is part of the culture but not necessarily religious, or it can be a race.

What he really was punished for is to show that the idiots who want every single information about everyone can't keep their own information (and of course ours) secure from a 15 year old kid.
We used to have a Bill of Rights. Now, with the rights gone, all we have left is the bill.
Nazi Germany, lots of laws. Bolsheviks had laws as well. China right now has laws.
Do you have a point regarding this mythical law you speak of?
A state without libertarianism, that does not recognize natural law, and is blind to common decency is evil.
Even if it's just personal correspondence with friends and family, getting into that account reveals all their email addresses, information about their schedules, their writing styles and habits (great for spear phising attacks), all kinds of stuff.
In practice, given how seldom encryption is used in e-mail, that information isn't very well protected to begin with.
Nearly nobody outside off /. ers uses GPG, and S/MIME is only used in some peculiar corporate settings.
Thus nearly all e-mail are clear during the exchange.
Also not every single e-mail server uses encryption.
You might have setup your email client to use, e.g.: IMAPS and SMTP with STARTLS.
But there's no guarantee that you correspondent will have done similar (or uses a webmail over HTTPS).
And no guarantee either that the various machines along the chain between your SMTP server and your correspondent IMAP server will all use TLS/SSL secured links.
So a lot of what you've mention can be gather simply by looking at un-encrypted traffic, no need to hack anyone's computer.
Aside from the embarrassment of having an @aol.com email address, they don't support a lot of basic security tech like 2 factor auth and apparently don't give their support staff any security training, so should not be used for any purpose.
That's the major problem in my opiion :
- AOL is stuck in "early 90s" style of internet security.
- it's not the kid who should get locked in. it's AOL who should be fined for awefully bad security practices.

Hello everyone. I would like to apologize for begin the raging asshole that I am. You see I am now undergoing a treatment program in an attempt to resolve my many issues. In going through this self discovery process I have discovered that a lot of my problems, especially with my inadequacy, centers around the fact that I was repressing my homosexuality. I now know that homosexuality isn't bad it is just the repression of it and the problems that causes are bad. Most notably his repression caused me to act out at anyone who rightfully pointed out my failings. I realize now that so much of what I said was just wrong. I also realize that I have developed serious problems such as stalking, harassment, poor physical health, and feelings of inadequacy. To this end I would like to apologize to the entire slashdot community.

Was forming Israel pragmatic? Did I say they *all* should leave? Do you think Israel was formed overnight and millions moved there in a few months? The point I'm making is that those who wish to move there to live in a Jewish state really shouldn't because it's not helping anyone. Those who are there who hate the violence and aren't beholden to a desire to have a Jewish state should leave. The hardliners are gong to stay regardless. It will take generations before a shift happens because most moderate Jews won't leave because they have sufficient roots there. It still is the most sensical thing to do.
As others point out for many Jews, Judaism is a culture, not a religion. They have and continue to practice their version of the culture wherever they live, so long as there's a couple dozen Jews in the area. Diasporia is the inevitable death* of a dying religion in a global community that can practice tolerance. I don't know if Christianity is next, but that'd be my guess.
* In a meaningful sense, where religion is passed down through the generation and assimilation into the cultural ideals of the area you live take precedent over your religious believes to the point that most adopt the area's religion/ideology. Hopefully, the process enriches the culture by adopting the good aspect of each new religion/culture that comes into the area. It's the people and the good ideas that matter, not the religion itself. Write down the history and the sacred text in books, and scholars can read about them if they want.

People want to kill people. Nothing fixes that. Forming an X State doesn't solve that either. Forming an X State specifically beside a bunch of people who really want to kill you is dumb. Given the option to live somewhere else where there's a lot less people wanting to kill you is smart. This is especially true if you don't want to be a target of nukes where delivery is much easier.

It's a miracle; we're actually in agreement for one. Must be a Jewish conspiracy.
There are no pure cultures, and ethnically pure states always fail.
That's a completely vacuous statement. All states eventually fail in one way or another.
It's even more irrelevant in the context of this discussion given that Israel is one of the least "ethnically pure" states in existence. You're just looking for an excuse to inject your weird political talking points into the discussion.
Attempting to preserve "borders, language, and culture" is a fools errand.
Awesome. I'll just let every country in the world know that they're wasting their time with that whole borders thing. Because pope fatso says so.

It would have been better if you'd been born dead.
That's pretty funny. I guess Germany is a good example that "ethnically pure" states don't fail either, then. In which case, which ethnically pure states were you referring to exactly?
Germany is not ethnically pure, and it's brief flirtation ended up with it being split in two.
All of them. Ethnically pure states fail. None exist, and whenever an effort arises to create one, it's always an express elevator to Hell.
You are welcome on my lawn.
All of them
Awesome, thanks for being so specific.
I'm sorry allowing yourself to be hacked by 15 year old is an act of gross negligence. Why is the CIA director not being cracked? It fascinates me that people still think that somehow sending people to jail for doing something that is really simple is OK.
I have a problem with a security expert being hacked so easily. What other data has he left lying around?
Yes. Europe and America both are moving towards secularism. It's not a one-generation thing. Even if Christianity "dies" in these areas, it doesn't necessarily mean Christianity will die in other areas. Even when it is dead, it doesn't mean there will be no follows. Look at Zoroastrianism. Look at people who still buy Furbies.
Japan.
Japan was a monoculture until their efforts at ethnic purity almost led to their destruction in 1945.
Today, Japan is actually a pretty diverse place. You will find Africans, white people, Europeans and folks from all over Asia. They don't have the levels of immigration that most Western countries have, but they are by no means an ethnic state.
If you wanted to propose more ethnically pure states, Poland and Hungary might be more appropriate, but they're actually pretty diverse too.
As I've stated, ethnic purity is a death sentence for societies. Those places just don't exist any more, and that's a good thing.
You are welcome on my lawn.
