The worst part if if the case goes to federal court one of their lawyers is goona say " He was protecting us from a greater threat so he should get off."
Have to remember that next time I get pulled over for speeding. "Yes officer I was doing 120mph, but this car is capable of much higher speeds, but I was trying to protect the rest of the people on the road by not doing 150mph.
Nice metaphore!
I think that their hearts were in the right place when they started their no so little campaign. But the way that they implemented it was irresponsible. Were they right? Well there's a very simple way to tell. They broke the law. So they are wrong. Ok, so this a bit of a simplification of the situation but in general, most of the laws we have are sensible ones and I can't see them relaxing the laws related to computer crime in any hurry. I believe that their message was a valid one but there are better ways to get your point across.Quote:
I just read an article on the Deceptive Duo getting arrested...they're just 2 more lame kiddies. The worst part if if the case goes to federal court one of their lawyers is goona say " He was protecting us from a greater threat so he should get off." In my mind, this is an excuse defense. The sad part is that this defense is probably going to work. This is going to set a bad precedent if this defense works. Every single kiddie out there will be able to deface away and get off on this excuse. I had said in another thread that there were better ways if they wanted to help but they chose the WRONG WAY. They did more harm than good. STUPID KIDDIES.
I've been following the escapades of the DD since they began their quest and I've done a little research on their exploits. I wouldn't call them kiddies since some of the hacks that they pulled off were a little more than running some canned scripts. But they certainly aren't elite by any means.
Here's an unofficial list of sites that they defaced.
Here's an email interview with the DD.
If you do a bit of reading you'll fing that these guys pretty much planned on getting caught. They thought that it would help promote their message and they were prepared to face the consequences for this. They were in action from about the 22 of April until yesterday when they got busted. They hacked about 30-40 sites during this time, most of them .gov, .mil and other sites that should really have good security.
Please explain how this is not hacking? Don't make a catagorical statement and then not back it up with a source or, at the very least, an idea of your own.Quote:
