I’m not sympathetic. Hackers should be treated like the common criminals that they are- it is no different than breaking and entering, followed by vandalism or theft. The claim that “I was just trying to point out security lapses...” doesn’t fly because many people have only windows and doors to protect their property. Any common burglar could say “that window wasn’t proper security, and I was just trying to point that out...”

Amen,, this is the only crime where the victim is blamed unless they have phd in computer security and close every hole. And again,,, death penalty for the ones that launch viruses. And yes,,, i’d flip the switch.
