> hacking into corporate sites (networks, web servers, etc), as a "Good
> Samaritan" play: "I did it, but I'm the /good guy/..."
>
>   It was always followed up, some say, by a "You guys should hire me/my
> friends to secure your network".. but nonetheless, he's been charged
> in New York under 18 USC 1029 and 1030.. the fun and games appear to be
> over.
