In part yes but inevitably devolves into an ad hominem attack against the most high profile case of a guy who did it, who is now hiding in Ukraine on a Prednistrovian passport after having his conviction overturned (temporarily) giving him an escape window.
Weev hasn’t been in Ukraine in a good few years. He was last confirmed spotted in Transnistria before the 2022 invasion and apparently hasn’t moved on since.
His stay in Ukraine was rather brief, he was… not well liked there.
How do you have a conviction temporarily overturned? I thought the US had rules about double jeopardy. Unless you're referring to some other charges he hasn't been tried for.
It's an incredibly basic form of pen testing. For example, this reply page URL refers to id=41393364, which is presumably your comment. So what happens if I replace it with a different number? Probably something innocent, but maybe not.
Yeah I wouldn't have convicted weev either. There is a difference though. He used that incremented number to access actual user PII. These guys created a user with no PII and no actual malicious use.
