Hacker (possibly) behind the AT&T Ipad breach has been arrested. And it's weev.

I think the main reason the FBI got involved was not because the leak was massive or damaging, but to figure out whether he actually broke any laws. Or more realistically, to find <i>something</i> to charge him with.

Is putting random shit at the end of a URL really illegal?

If the scope of the warrant is for computer hardware/software, are his possession of these substances inadmissable?

Goatse security group? Really?

I think that the best idea of what the security group did was comparable to calling up a company that does not provide a directory and the group showed you can easily create that directory but didn't publish it

Kind of ruins my image of hackers, with all those high-profile drugs.

From the educational documentary Hackers:<p><pre><code> JOEY That was me. That was me. I did that. DADE You did this from your house. Joey takes a drag from his cigarette and just nods, with a big grin on his face. PHREAK What are you, stoned or stupid? You don't hack a bank across state lines from your house, you'll get nailed by the FBI. Where are your brains, in your ass? Don't you know anything? CEREAL Stupid, man. It's universally stupid.</code></pre>
