The government wants to suppress hackers from distributing identity theft information out and about so that ATM harvesting (an exploding business) continues to be out-of-control.
But the problem is, the government is doing it exactly backwards. We need to be punishing AT&T for the fact that Weev gained access. Not punishing the person who got in.
It's cultiavating a culture of "It's OK to have no security". And as such, criminals are stealing your identity from everywhere all over the internet because the government wants to spy on the citizens.
If we have tons of weev's going around illustrating (proving to the world) that AT&T can be hacked by teenagers, then AT&T would fix their problems.
This whole situation is so disgusting. The people who are perpetuating the problems on the internet are the ones destroying the few capable hackers who are trying to point at the REAL problem. We need the government to pay Weev a million dollars every time he steals a batch of Identity information, and send the bill to AT&T. Eventually AT&T would be bulletproof.
It makes me very sad, kind of like when you see a criminal stealing some booze shoot a mother and a baby because they were witnesses and in the way. You just cry and move on. The problem of identity theft will continue to explode because the criminal is still lose, and the only solution was incarcerated.
