Finally. I personally don't see much difference between hacking a company
PC and sending lit bottle of gasoline through the front window. I know
everyone has pointed out "well your system wasn't secure" but how many of
you have fireproof couches/furniture/etc.. in your home or business?
Saying the stuff isn't secure is like saying "if you wouldn't have had
flammable stuff you wouldn't be looking at a smoking basement". There are
inherent risks with anything, but just because you can do it with a PC from
anywhere anonymously doesn't make it right.
