I can not believe no one is bitching about the guy that hacked the system. I guess it is alright to hack into a system.  |

1 edit | I still don't see how hacking into a system proves anything other than bragging rights for the hacker. So, the company being hack gets bad PR and embarrass, but it doesn't necessarily prove that hacking can cause a company to improve security, and if it does than the hacker will hack again and again tell this behavior is dealt with by law. |

I've avoided HL2 for this very reason,in fact....I was in the first batch of "purges" for no reason....they reinstated me...and I got my money back.....and closed my account.
But seriously,hackers are a needed asset for security IMHO,just not the extorsionist kind |

hacking helps to some extent, depending on the hacker that finds the holes. a decent hacker that tells the company and does not sell the valuable data found or the route to obtain the access is good for the users and the company. |
