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.

My question is why ? 2002-08-29
Brian Gray // Bloodline
My question is why? I can see it making the news that NBC is showing their cowardice in airing the piece. Why is this guy getting attention for performing simple tasks like network enumeration. Web based tools are deffinately available so big deal if he can find an internal web server with his browser. It comes down to this; Is it truely news worthy that NBC's IT dept Didn't keep tighter reigns on their internal web?
