Very strange judicial decision
It would appear that some folks in the judicial system lack an understanding of the damages created from digital crime. When we have script kiddies at the age of 13 causing great harm, it's silly to think that people aged 18 and 22 aren't adults who fully understand their criminal behavior and the punishment they should receive which includes prison time and at a minimum treble damages.
Evidently crime does pay if you get a technically challenged judge who doesn't comprehend the damage imposed from digital crime. The whole point of punishment is to deter future crime and hold criminals accountable. 240 hours of public service is not in any way shape or form holding these crims responsible for their crimes - which is why this outrage is being reported by the media.
