Why the hell do we waste time and money prosecuting joke cases like this one and this one?
Anyone who suggests that computer hacking is in any way a Serious and Important Threat that we should Take Seriously will be mercilessly mocked and jeered in the comments.
I did think, with the military hacker story, that maybe the US should spend more effort on making their computers secure, rather than effort on extraditing the hacker. Because, you know, the Chinese or "the terrorists" aren’t exactly going to stop hacking for fear that their country of origin might sign an extradition treaty with the US at some point…
"Offensive, but not grossly offensive."
What the fuck is that all about?
