In todays cyber culture, there are a variety of ways to look at so called vigilant justice. No one, and I do mean no one, would like there systems security to be comprimised, especially if it holds data that can be deemed confidential. On the other hand, it seems cruel to impose jail sentances on people like the recent example of Adrian Lamos. All these people are trying to do is make our confidential material safer. This brings up the White Hat/Black Hat debate. No matter what side of the line you sit on, you should be able to see the other sides points. I have personally sat on both sides of the debate, argueing in favor and against the hacker community. The problem that occurs is that there is no real awnser to the problem, and the laws are so weak and open to debate that it is pointless to look for a specific precedant. In conclusion, we as humans tend to point fingers like two year olds, and like we were then, the problems are usually unsolved. Just be careful, most of us have watched technology evolve, and we know how fragile it can be.
In some cases the wish to provide the widest possible computer access as cheaply as possible may mean deciding to go for a cheaper set-up, with potentially lower security.'
Right, so when my billing information and network passwords are being stored, its ok to cheap out. Come on, its ok to use cheaper network equipment, but how many times do we need to stress the security of private information, often of which is vital. Now the students whos information would have been on that system was also violated and exposed. Why not just take the money to prosicute them and, I don't know, secure a few servers.
If a major corporation cared so much to raise the connectivity of developing nations, why wouldn't they spearhead campaigns to send there old off lease system and trade-ins over seas.
includes a lot of stuff you probably already own, and a few things you might want... like a version of Reloaded with the Enter the Matrix footage included.
Does this include an actual ending to the trilogy, since the last one made me want my money back, even though I won the ticket on the radio
