Comments on: Can Evil Hackers Destroy Your Enemy’s Life For $20? http://wolfhalton.info/2007/09/06/can-evil-hackers-destroy-your-enemys-life-for-20/ What You Need to Know Tue, 24 Aug 2010 18:06:57 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Wolf http://wolfhalton.info/2007/09/06/can-evil-hackers-destroy-your-enemys-life-for-20/comment-page-1/#comment-3 Wolf Wed, 28 Nov 2007 01:19:06 +0000 http://wolfhalton.info/?p=10#comment-3 I enjoyed your blog immensely. Well, a company that offers UK drivers Licenses and employment records and adds the following caveat "It is not a criminal offence to create a sham so long as you do not intend to deceive or permanently deprive. In other words you can pretend and act anything so long as nobody is prejudiced;..." does look rather like they are up to something. I suspect they really are in that seamy gray area of providing stuff that is legal to have as long as you don't do anything illegal with it. Intent to defraud appears a big part of their message. I think the big thing is that they are appealing to the same segment that is traditionally defrauded by phony psychics. The hacking tricks I saw in the newsletter are extremely old. BackOrifice and so on, and they sound excessively theoretical. The adrenaline addicts are also attracted to stuff like this. The people in the house of lords who do not understand that the tcp/ip stack is inherently unsecure, and relies on trust and authentication to communicate are unduly affected by learning scary tech facts unrooted in the background of tech development.
