The helpful hacker demonstrates his techniques on camera for the NBC Nightly News, but lawyers kill the story when he cracks the broadcast network's own systems.

They could have ran the story, blocking out the stupid peacock and any other company identifiable information. The interesting part of the story for the average John Doe (not smart security people like the ones reading this message), is anyone can walk into a Kinko's and hack the heck out of your network using a regular browser. Moral of the story, take security seriously, hire security professionals, and spend the money to protect your network.

And that's all I have to say about that...Forrest
