"If you can't do the time, don't do the crime."

I doubt his intent was purely good samaritan - he left a back door. Also, to continue the earler guys's analogy, you don't fix your neighbor's garage by installing your own security system without telling him - you notify him of the problem.

This guy was a hacker, he got caught, and now has to pay the price. He knew the risk, he decided to take it, and he got caught.

(No, I'm not a pig or informant, I'm an engineer sick of people who can't understand the difference between wrong and right)
