A quick and dirty on vigilante hackers
Psychological harassment, obstruction of justice, and misuse of Internet technologies is clearly breaking the law.
For those of us who are involved in the realm of information security, it is a sad time indeed to see the control that some vigilante hackers have over the Internet.
Some of these cyber-criminals are not at all who they portray themselves to be. If you tear down their core belief system, vigilante hacker intentions are rarely focused on the good of society as a whole, and almost always seeking some form of self-gratification in the realm of fame and glory.
Would you really support a child who is having a major temper tantrum with rewards of praise for such actions? Or would you teach that child how to utilize appropriate coping skills so that she/he could become a better family member, friend and neighbor.
This is a short-n-sweet! Until next time — stay safe online!
