RE: CERT Employee Gets Owned [Way Off Topic]

I'll remember that when your name is plastered all over the media.

Explain to me how this crime is relevant? 

He worked for CERT. Fine. So do a number of other people. Are we going to
track all of their civil/criminal legal issues too? Do you believe that his
crime puts the reputation of CERT into question, or damages their ability to
do good work?

The crime was not computer-security related. It was an attempt to exploit
another _person_, and the only relationship to computers was the medium of
the communication. In short, it's out-of-scope for this list.
