New York Times Internal Network Hacked

How open proxies and default passwords led to Adrian Lamo padding his rolodex with information on 3,000 op-ed writers, from William F. Buckley Jr. to Jimmy Carter.

Lamo, nice work and way to keep everything on the up and up. Not many Hackers seem to have his ethics. I am curious if he is given any $$ for exposing these holes to the companies and not telling the world before fixes can be made. If I was head of of NYT I would be more than willing to cut him a fat check for his efforts. He has my respect =^}
