However, I must question whether the activity Dean discusses is actually criminal. He does not accuse them of carrying out the attacks, he accuses them of transporting information published by a third party which notifies the world that his site is vulnerable to these attacks.
Umm, for the record, I do make such an accusation. When they probe a non-public government computer, they are violating 18 USC 1030 Sections 2(b), 2(c), and 3. Those are criminal violations. You simply may not probe government computers. Doing so is immediately a crime. The $5000 limit is only for non-government computers.
Wait, let me get something clear here... 18 USC 1030... USC == United States Code netgate.net.nz ... nz == New Zealand Does the US somehow have jurisdiction over people in another country? Last time I checked, New Zealand was a sovereign country, and its citizens were bound by its OWN laws, and not the laws of the USA. D
