MITNICK, et al

[InfoSec News <isn () c4i org>]

Josh,

My "Op-Ed" posting was not meant to be a thesis on the juvenile
offender and their propensity for certain behavior.

I could have bored the forum "to death."

Society has long condemned the offender--even by forever black marking
someone's "record" -if ONLY an arrest.

Of course times have changed.  I remember using a pocket calculator
instead of a slide rule and getting a "F" for using a "cheating
device."

Getting back to point:  Mitnick was/is the martyr for many.  
So-called "cybercrime" is still costing industry/govt billions and we
are as ill-equipped to deal with the cyber-offender as we are with the
drug-offender and we've had drug offenders around since the early
1900's.

This is still the wild-wild west for law enforcement (yes, that
includes criminologists) and the learning curve is lousey at best.

Criminologists, by definition, deal with the so-called "criminal mind"
and the "penal systems"--hardly a pure science.

As to "digging up shit on you"--we only work when we get paid!

P.S.

A professor friend said, on dealing with idiots: "One of the greatest
lessons I can teach you is this: Don't wrestle with pigs. You get
muddy, sweaty, tired, mad, covered with crap, and when you're done the
pig loved it anyway."
