Last week Daniel Cuthbert was convicted of breaking the Computer Misuse Act, fined £400, and ordered to pay £600 in costs. As an IT security consultant, it will be a long time before Cuthbert's reputation is restored and it is possible he will never work in the industry again.

Good to know that the police in the UK are so willing to pursue these 'hacking' attempts. I'll be sending the hundreds of directory traversal attempts I see every week on my IDS to them for investigation and prosecution.

Seriously, I'm convinced that in this case, and probably many others, the label of 'hacking' is sufficient to get a person convicted, regardless of the evidence. Sad. Really sad.
