theyve just grabbed a new cyber tsar :
problem solved, who better to work out how to guard digital information than he who can break into it.
although wait a moment he recently revealed ? >
“I’m not, you know, a master hacker. I didn’t write my own programmes or anything”
he mainly used this commercially available product “remotely anywhere”
what ! this must surely be is the first case of a “user”, being able to hack government sites ? which must indicate their security is more slack than we can possibly imagine ? In that case I’ve have no empathy for the US government in the sense it imply’s their prosecuting an intelligent but largely unskilled guy who was just curious ? Only in america could you say it was illegal to look. If their security isnt good enough thats there business, he wasn’t after money just information, the world we live in where information is illegal … really, to my mind the only infomation that should be illegal is that which is lies or noise within the signal of life.
Gary Mckinnon you did the right thing, why was it the right thing ? because as per usual mis-behaviour gifts you more of societys attention, than remaining anonymous, think of who you would be now if this event hadn’t occurred ? lets hope the americans see sense and offer you a nice well paid job as security risk advisor, as blank passwords are quite obviously wrong.
