Re: Interesting conviction

I didn't read anywhere in the article that Mr. Cuthbert had an agreement with 
the website's owner to carry out penetration testing.  Am I missing the point? 

Much like if I were to come into your home and watch Television because I felt like it.  No malicious intent, just 
curiosity, free television and availability because I could.  Cyber Trespassing is a bad thing, and yes, it is the onus 
of the web-site owner to secure their property.  I lock my doors. do you?
