So wait- thousands of people are openly confessing to "hacking" into protected computers via unauthorized access methods? Isn't this a criminal offense when perpetrated over state lines, a violation of the computer fraud and abuse act..? And how about fraud, conspiracy, illegitimately stealing services, and the like?<p>Meanwhile, OTHER people-- security researches, trolls, whoever-- some maybe have told the media about private data being shared on open links-- they get to go to jail.<p>It's almost like criminal laws are selectively enforced against people who corporate and powerful special interests don't like, and flagrantly ignored when broken by members of the establishment.
