Adrian Lamo, the self-proclaimed "homeless hacker" written up in Newsweek, Wired, etc, is now being hunted by the FBI. For those IP'ers not familiar with him, Adrian made his claim to fame by hacking into corporate sites (networks, web servers, etc), as a "Good Samaritan" play: "I did it, but I'm the /good guy/..." It was always followed up, some say, by a "You guys should hire me/my friends to secure your network".. but nonetheless, he's been charged in New York under 18 USC 1029 and 1030.. the fun and games appear to be over. SecurityFocus.com has a write-up at http://securityfocus.com/news/6888 . -jamie -- i.am-> jamie.(at).arpa.dot.com arpa.com :: the mainstream runs shallow jesus loves you... but satan has candy.
