Story: Tsunami 'hacker' conviction worries experts
Posted by: Rich Willis (Saturday 8 October 2005, 2:37 AM)
Pretty scary to think that only a government-authorized security company can legally test a site's security or integrity. You can bet I'll be accepting no more contracts to verify ANY corporate networks. Let's hope the government will protect those industries when malicious hackers are the first sign that their network security was inadequate.
I guess we commoners should likewise not bother reporting security concerns to authorities either - we might be charged with invading the privacy of a terrorist!
