Moreover, he ran it again after reporting it to see if it was still there. Essentially he's doing an unauthorised pen test having alerted them that he'd done one already. I agree with Benji.
From a European point of view, I see more a young guy thinking he was doing the right thing, then making sure the flaw's fixed. There are some strange things: he retries and *minutes* after that the phone's ringing - from what I know of Canada's system, only 24/7 official eavesdropping could lead to such a short delay (but even in his case more than minutes). and I don't really think the college nor skytech had triggered such an _official_ survey (otherwise authorities would have call, not the skytech CEO). It looks like more a foreseeable behavior exploited to build a setup to push him signing the NDA. So I think he was rather naïve than a moron. Rise and shine, this completely justify the existence of this wonderful mailing list ;) Jean-Yves -- <neonoe> what means "lp0 on fire" ? <Naha> that your printer's burning <neonoe> ah ok <neonoe> actually <neonoe> shit... _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
