Well! You try to do the right thing and look where it gets you!

This is an amusing side effect from the BSDnews site breach from Friday. I had that behind me, notices went out to affected parties, issue closed. No big deal. Well, apparently not for some people!

Snipped! Read the update.

And this my friends, is the world we live in. This is a world where a pimple face youth from the Netherlands can find time between exams (that he needs to pass to get his xbox) to reach out and touch the lived of 5400 some odd people and put them at risk. The kid has no idea the implications of what he really did, and its doubtful he ever will. The fact is, it is doubtful that any law enforcement local to D will take any action against him. Kid will not even get a phone call chewing him out (I thought about calling his parents up, but I don’t speak Dutch (Any takers?)).

These script kiddies are free to take these actions free from accountability. Until that changes, the state of security on the Internet will not change.

Now D, go away or I will taunt you once again. Tomorrow is the big day, what with the release of Grand Theft Auto 4 and my SANS Local Mentor Computer Forensics and Incident Response class. I don’t have the time to engage you any further. But, I will make a deal with you here: You take down your warez site (but, you can keep on doing your dance music site!) and leave the script kiddie world and I will take down this post.
