Hacked

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.
