    Not impressed Jim Johnson -- 31/07/08

    Wow, you would think this guy would be smart enough to launch his attack from a non extraditable country. Pretty scary.

    Instead, US Government should hire him. Nathan Millson -- 31/07/08 (in reply to #320108075)

    This guy is of course a hacking nut. Wouldn't a guy like that help strenghen a system which could be flawed by a man in the UK? If this was my decision I would instead of imprison him, take him on to do some community service and rethinking the security of such a weak system?

    It just goes to show Anonymous -- 31/07/08

    These were all windows systems. Most had no passwords or what ever the default is. This person was not a real hacker otherwise he would have covered up his tracks. Running perl scripts to look for blank passwords is very weak security indeed.
