*CONVICTED CRACKER SAYS DEPRESSION MADE HIM DO IT
A 22-year-old Minnesota man last week pleaded guilty to breaking into an unclassified Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory network and installing a backdoor to download budget materials. Benjamin Brueninger, also known a "Konceptor," reportedly told authorities he committed the 1999 intrusions to alleviate depression and suicidal tendencies. The damage from the attack cost the nuclear plant $20,000 in stolen records and cleanup costs, according to federal prosecutors. The cracker faces up to five years in prison and $25,000 in fines when he is sentenced April 12 in Oakland, Calif.


Now here is an example of a real hacker, real damages, real charges. Federal charges.

Now doesn't this make the Georgia attack on David McOwen seem even MORE ludicrous than it already is?
 
Wait a minute. This guy did *real* hacking, with *real* damages, that needed *real* cleanup and his possible sentence is like 1/10th of what David is facing? What a friggin joke. Oh well, hopefully this will be good for David's case.

Thanks for the info, Ray.
 
OMG...Idiots like this get a slap on the wrist while David gets crucified? When will the world wake up? :disgust:
 
What I don't understand about this is why someone from the Midwest would use hacking as a way to aleviate depression when he could have just gone out cow tipping. You can't tell me there are no pasture full of cows in Minnesota, I've been there! 😉

Oh oh, here we go! 😀 >>

I can see it now, "Forum Status Race Stats and Milestones" 😛
 
Yeah, I just got to experience some "real" hacking first-hand, as a Forum where I am a Mod was hacked a couple of nights ago. We are still trying to get things up and running again. 🙁
 
I did *some* reading on David's case but I can't help but wonder if the boss or bosses just had something against him from the outset or some personal issues with him for some reason? He is surely wrongfully accused!

I'm from South Dakota - yes there are lots of cows here. However, while I was in LA over the holidays (for the Rose Bowl - I'm in the Nebraska band if you can't tell from my name), there were fields with cows in them as well! Who knew?
 
I have a little web server (Apache on Win2000) here at work which doubles as a dial-up proxy for my UD clients...
It is set to disconnect if idle for 1 minute, and it probably only dials up every 3 or 4 days to flush/fetch. So every 3 or 4 days it is connected to the internet for maybe 3 or 4 minutes.
There have been 2 hacking attempts so far that I know of (by checking access.log files).

Here's one attempt, looks like a script is doing it..

Makes you think hey...

Also, this is one more post towards Goldenness !!!!!!!
Smokeball !!! Will you do the race stats ????

😉

If you do an advanced search by my nickname you'll find that I've never neffed.
All my posts have been legitimate, informative, etc.

I'll make it to Golden when I get there.

P.S. If that hacker had heard of UT he might have found it a very good outlet for his depression. Nothing like painting the walls with pieces of bots. It works for me. 😉
