There is ZERO SIMILARITY between having security research done on a product you sell to the public and having your website hacked by a "hacktivist" group.<p>Security research is usually a public service, usually done for free, virtually always done with full attribution (that's part of the point) and almost invariably legal.<p>Website hacks are virtually never a public service, are done anonymously, often involve financial gain for the participants, and are invariably criminal.<p>Barnaby Jack isn't part of a "hacker group". At the time this post was written, he was a researcher for Juniper Networks. Drawing a parallel between his ATM research and "Hacktivism" is shamefully stupid linkbaiting. Since that bogus comparison is the only thing this article contributes beyond the actual blog post it linkjacks (which is excellent, but appeared on the site and was discussed yesterday), I flagged this post.
