Good things come to those who hack
I read this article about a hacker who ran a zombie network that he claimed contained as many as 100,000 computers. Now caught, the potential exists for this 20-year-old to spend four to six years in jail. While I realize that a need exists for the prison system, I wish that it wasn’t the case. More often than not I think people end up worse coming out of jail than they were going in. However, in this case, considering last weeks struggle with zombie network base referrer spam, I find myself giggling with glee and hope for nothing but the ’worst’ in jail for this guy. Perhaps that makes me a bad person, but then again, I always believe that 99.9% of the time, you ’get’ what you deserve. [You read into the italicized words as you see fit].
