You got to be kidding me. The guy is actively breaking into systems and he is being 'encouraged'.

What would happen if I walked into your house and showed the world how easy it was to do it??? Would you be thankfull I showed you the security vulnerabilities in your house and read all your personal files while you were there??

As another poster mentioned, if he really cared about the security he would have contacted the CSO or security guy directly, not a reporter.

He's just another kid looking for attention.
