Read the UK law, did he attempt to penetrate a site, Yes, which makes him guilty. Not knowing the law is not an excuse. Now, the Magistrae had no recourse but to follow the law. Once thing I do not understand his being a security expert why he did not use known resources to test the site to see if it was legit which are legal to see if it is plished?
Being a Computer Forensics Tech I have little envy for this individual for using the technique he used to validate this site whether he did this with innocent values or not.
