Hey Everyone,

A 18 year old hacker apparently broke into the Air Force website(They have one???).....

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The damage to the Web site was estimated at $75,000.

Shakour(The Aqused Hacker), who also admitted other computer-related crimes, pleaded guilty to charges that carry sentences of up to 15 years in federal prison and fines of $250,000.

Outside the court, however, his lawyer said Shakour should be praised, not jailed, for showing how simple it is to compromise government computers.

"They call this a breach of security, but there's no security if a high school student can break through it," defense attorney F. Bari Nejadpour said. "Imagine what a terrorist could do."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
His Lawyers main argument is that there IS NO SECURITY on the site if a 18 year old high school student can hack this website.
Therefore one could conclude that Shakour was doing the Air Force website a favor by exposing the sites weaknesses....On the other hand, he is facing those $250,000 fines and the 15 years in prison for Unauthorized Access to a government website....

Whats your opinion? One of the two I've listed...or something completly different???
