Databreaches.net reports that after 2 years the FBI has finally
returned Mark Short's computer. In 2009 Mark informed the Leanda ISD
that their web site was vulnerable to attack because their welcome
page included images with usernames and passwords. The ISD's response
was to call the police and the FBI, who treated Mr. Short's report of
a vulnerability as evidence that he is a dangerous, malicious hacker.

the computer he worked on at his job - which caused such a stressful
work atmosphere that he felt compelled to leave.
