User Faces Five Years Prison for AT&T iPad Hack → Re: Blaming the victim

Except ATT's site is public, and nothing was stolen. So it's more like walking into a store whose door is unlocked and being arrested because the store is "closed".

Yes, I believe that it is called trespassing in your example. Are you sure that the site the hacker was hacking was a public site. By your definition, nothing was stolen, just a little over 100,000 email addresses.

Just hacker scum trying alibi their activities. No sympathy for them at all.
