Actually I think it's about the "worlds most secure computer system" getting hacked and about the hacker.

With regards to the former:

It is about every computer in the world and the money and time that EVERY computer user has to expend in combating these thugs.

Sure hacking is not nice and time and money is spent on combating them. I had my website hacked last year (SQL injection attack coming from some games computer network in Holland using automated tools that discovered I had not escaped a query parameter I should have...) and I can assure you I was not exactly overjoyed. Still, there's not much else I could do but find and fix the problem, recognise that a failure on my part did make the exploit possible and hope that we are safe now.

That said, I do believe that the measures one takes to combat hacking have to be balanced against the consequences of being hacked. In this respect, I believe that "the worlds most secure computer system" is relevant...


With regards to the hacker, I do not believe Autism and Aspergers completely excuses his hacking but I think it is something that should be taken into account when considering sentencing or extradition.
