Lamo denies $300,000 database hack
Kevin Poulsen, SecurityFocus 2003-09-10

Days before going public with his penetration of the New York Times internal network last year, hacker Adrian Lamo created five new user accounts with the LexisNexis database service under the Times corporate account, which he used to rack up $300,000 in charges over the following three months, a federal complaint in New York charges.

Be careful how you stereotype groups of people.

A lot of people who are out here supporting Adrian, are doing so to ensure that he gets a fair trial. Something that has been missing from many hacker cases.

Also, there needs to be some reforms in our laws. It is ridiculous to have the same punishment handed down to someone like Adrian, that is given to someone who hacks in and steals credit cards numbers for fraudulent purposes.

The government seems to be hacker hunting, probably to justify some budget that they received by overinflating the terrorist threat due to hackers. Are you sure you're totally clean and nothing you have on your system could be construed as "questionable?"
