Story: Tsunami appeal site 'hacker' found guilty
Posted by: Anonymous (Monday 10 October 2005, 10:34 AM)
Go to any security professional and they should tell you that whenever you want to undertake any sort of "testing" of this sort, then you MUST, I repeat MUST, get signed agreement from the management or you are in very dodgy territory. That is what happened here - he didn't.
He then lied to police - bad move - who knows, it may not even have got to court if he had told the truth from the start.
I have some sympathy, but I'm afraid he made two mistakes that have cost him dearly.
