Man goes to jail for disclosing a security hole.

My mind... Is totally blown.



It wouldn't hurt to have some computer savvy people in the courts. Nor would it hurt if people sued each other less.

WTF?! I still can't believe this happened.

I bet the jury is full of people who can barely find notepad

That's sad. Plus, they bust this guy for sending only 5,000 emails? Shit I get 20+ junk emails a day and I don't see those people being thrown in jail. In addition to this he was trying to help the company, you don't see him passing this info to a person who would actually use it - but to the people that would complain to the company to fix it. Corporations seems so stupid, maybe it's because of their underworked-overpayed CEOs.

Sounds like when I got suspended for disclosing security holes in school, because obviously I would have had to use them to discover them!
