      Leaking the details of 20,000 federal employees was wrong. I don't care about the head of the FBI or CIA getting messed with, but leaking employees details is fucked up. They're just lower ranked officers following orders.

      @@MRJMXHDyeah and if it's wrong for their information to be stolen and given out to others they don't want having that information it's wrong for the federal government to do the same to its citizens or the citizens of foreign countries. They are complicit in helping this surveillance state we live in operate, any one of them could take actions against it like Snowden did, but they don't. If you're actively complicit with evil actions, it doesn't matter if you were "just following orders", you are helping this type of evil prevail and you are partially responsible. Every person has the power to change the world around them and make a difference in it, the fact they don't use theirs to help oppose this surveillance state especially when they're in a much better position to than most people, is all on them. They reaped what they sowed.

      ⁠@JohnMarston-sf1vkdo you have any idea how much money those universities and colleges bring in every single year??? It’s in the billions and that’s before state/federal funding, donations and sponsors. They continue to pay their employees shit despite how much money is brought in, our curriculum has been the same for the past 30 years but yet the rate of tuition inflation rises by 8% a year??? Yes I do agree they need to make money for everything to function, but they’re creating generational slaves at this point.

      The 2000s were a pretty weird time for cybersecurity. It was becoming increasingly better supported and understood, but you were still coming out of a relative degree of innocence and naivete due to how recent it all was. Laws had yet to fully catch up, security practices were very much still being figured out, and generally it was just a weaker time.
      It's also a constant game of attack and defense, what it looks like today vs 2008 are wildly different because of this. A lot of it involved making lower level agencies (Possibly with their own rules and policies, often weaker or poorly implemented) come in line with mandatory standards and practices. It's not infallible, but it does a lot.

      This video is all a lie. I looked on the site of the hacker "d4fault" and its just self written anecdotal evidence. Theres literally nothing to back up his claims on many of these things besides his own testimony. For example , the whole segment about bestiality is just purely wrong. No danish government website was ever taken down as he claimed. In 2015 it was in fact anonymous who took down some of the bestiality websites that is proven cause they literally defaced the sites with the anonymous logo under the operation name OpNullDenmark . The problem was already big and talked about in Denmark and his unproven "hacks" certainly didnt have any affect on the ban decision. But of course making a video making this kid seem like some hero gets more views so alright.

      "Dyscalculi is a learning disability resulting in difficulty learning or comprehending arithmetic, such as difficulty in understanding numbers, numeracy, learning how to manipulate numbers, performing mathematical calculations, and learning facts in mathematics. It is sometimes colloquially referred to as "math dyslexia", though this analogy can be misleading as they are distinct syndromes."

      I agree, I would add that its not just about the ego of individual in power. But its also about the face of an institution in power. Posturing is resource relied upon heavily for displaying power. So when weakness and vulnerability is revealed in an institution that relies on its image of power. It causes said institution to have extreme condemning response as a display to refortify its image of powerfulness.

Instead they punish these people which just causes more hackers to be against them. Yes, punish those who are a threat and directly against us, but acknowledge those helping us.

He was arrested for no hack, he was indicted for just harassing the Miami cops, which he claimed to be there at the time, even to his friends, but was in Carolina. He visited, and stayed there with his girlfriend at the time, but he did his most to continue with his lies, and everyone does have hate for him that worked with him at the time.

No danish government website was ever taken down as he claimed. In 2015 it was in fact anonymous who took down some of the bestiality websites that is proven cause they literally defaced the sites with the anonymous logo under the operation name OpNullDenmark .
