Re: iPhone...DENIED
was he hacking from an iphone?
I suspect this is just out of touch judges having less clue than a 2 year old and thinking it says it has the internet so thats that.
Anyway, if he was half sensible he already had the hard drive backed up somewhere suitable, borrowed a computer form his friend and shared the whole good news around.
Frankly a stupid prosecution from a stupid law. The real criminal in this is talk talk for not protecting their systems and data... they are the ones that should be on trial NOT the guy that proved they were incompetent. Same for those who hack into the US military systems, it is NOT the hacker who needs prosecuting. And if someone hacks into my computer because MS has fouled up their security I should be able to sue MS for any loss or inconvenience caused, not my fault (beyond buying their product of course) and frankly not the hackers fault.
When are they going to start en masse prosecution of the companies who actively try hacking in order to show vulnerabilities and ensure they are fixed?
Absurd, ill thought through, typical idiot law making
Biting the hand that feeds IT
