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.

sounds like jealously to me... anyone to informs the media of a network that is vulnerable is doing everyone a favor, especially us Admins/Whitehat hackers...

Guess what... security measures is like diaster recovery... no money is spent for it, UNTIL something happens..

Thanks Lamo, you probably just give NBC security team, $500k to beef up their security....
