Feds say Lamo inspired other hackers
Kevin Poulsen, SecurityFocus 2004-09-15

The final act in the saga of Adrian Lamo's hacking adventures ended with a contrite message from the once brash cyber outlaw, and a grim denunciation from his prosecutor, who blamed the hacker for inspiring other computer intruders.

I am glad he got what he deserved. The punishment could have been more sever, but the Judge acted accordingly and handed Lamo a just sentence.

What Lamo should have done?was open a consulting company and begin trying to help these vulnerable companies. Why do something for free when it can be done for a reasonable fee. Hacking is only good when the company knows it is being done prior to the hack itself.

Not all hackers are evil, but some are!!
