Why is this guy getting so much coverage and credibility on this site? He is a criminal, sure people argue that his hacking was maligned and just driven by curiosity about aliens, nevertheless the guy committed a crime in full knowlege that he was committing a crime. Also I don't buy the whole "showing up the flaws in the security" argument it does not apply to the non virtual world so why does it apply to the cyber world?
