RE: 2008's biggest tech crime storiesBy Anonymous on December 15, 2008, 11:43 amOh, Wow, You overlooked the McColo issue... And that's exactly why spam goes on and on. Too many people make serious money with it. Spam will grow, and keep growing, as long as people promote "filtering" as a solution. A much better place to start is to investigate some ISPs in the USA and EU... Look where the money is, and where it goes.

One more tech crime - SANTA!By kai7070 on December 27, 2008, 11:09 pmSaw this video about Santa's ID getting stolen. Pretty funny, but the website is hilarious. It's from ESET - had no idea a security firm could be so funny. http://www.viddler.com/explore/SantaFraudFilms/videos/1/
I take great pleasure inBy Anonymous on December 15, 2008, 5:21 pmI take great pleasure in watching other human beings sit in prison. Especially when they steal someone else's identity, ruin their credit, empty their bank accounts, send them into bankruptcy, ruin their lives, and drain them of money for their own gain. Apparently, you don't have a problem with those kinds of people being punished.
Taking pleasure in watching them sit in jailBy Anonymous on December 16, 2008, 10:48 amI agree with Navistar. Someone mentioned that whomever takes pleasure in watching someone sit in prison for years and years for committing crimes of id theft and emptying out peoples bank accounts is a sick, sick person. It's funny how a lot of people don't understand the severity of these crimes until it happens to them. I firmly believe that these people should get even tougher penalties for the crimes they commit. The harm they cause people is almost unimaginable. I understand this completely. ID Theft is up there with rape and murder, in my opinion, and should be punished accordingly, although those punished for the horrible crimes of rape and murder typically never get what they deserve either. Regarding the guy who held SF's network hostage (Terry Childs), I don't understand what his juvenile record has anything to do with it. When you do things as a juvenile, those records are typically sealed and you're not obligated to report the things you did when you were a minor to anyone, except maybe when applying for a law enforcement job. A lot of people grow up when they become adults. But, sometimes, they don't. It's better to give people the benefit of the doubt in such a case (the innocent before proven guilty type of idea).
"throw the book at them?"By Anonymous on December 15, 2008, 1:57 pmWhoever takes pleasure in a human being sitting in prison for years is a sick, sick man. No one is saying that these people should have used their skills for more noble and beneficial ends, instead of stealing from individuals. But like the article mentioned, no high profile corporate executives or government bureaucrats were busted, when every day major companies get away with extortion, fraud, manipulation. The hacker gets prison time, and the banks and corporations get billion dollar bailouts. This article clearly shows a lack of understanding about federal criminal law, the hacker community, and the politics of capitalism.
Yeah.By Anonymous on April 27, 2009, 7:33 pmI second that.
