It's still theft. He had a clear opportunity to do the right thing and chose poorly. - TWuG Mar 18, 09:37 5
- Everything on the web is public. It's the responsibility of the data provider to protect their customers. AT&T failed this responsibility. - Beryllium Mar 18, 09:43 4
  - Tell that to the 114,000 people whose stuff got revealed by this guy. He had choices and he chose to be a dick. - TWuG Mar 18, 09:50 3
    - But not 3.5 years. AT&T wrote the code. AT&T had a responsibility to say "restrict this information", but instead they told the code - Beryllium Mar 18, 10:05 2
      - it's not like he accidentally got the information. if he wanted to make a point, he could have informed the secret service or fbi about the flaw plus - zork Mar 18, 10:13

(It probably sounds like I'm advocating he should have got off scot free, just like AT&T did. Not quite. But not 3.5 years. Fuck that.) -- nm - Beryllium Mar 18, 09:35
