Sounds like some computer security company needs to hire this kid...fast.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Burn him on a bonfire of credit cards!

OK, let’s get serious. Why do private hackers seem to have more of a clue than our spies and our crime investigators and crime prevention counselors. Maybe because the reward structure is more straight forward, if unethical.

Strange ... I've been hearing about all this hacking for a month or more ... but no reports of anyone actually getting robbed.

Am I in a daze or what ?

[rktman]

Looks like he has a big future with some software outfit designing protection software to keep hackers and malware attacks out.

[McGruff]

He'll probably end up like this guy.

[NormsRevenge]

Whack ‘em. Find ‘em and whack ‘em.

[ronnie raygun]

Wont need such sophisticated malware to crack commiecare, sign up and get hosed

[SandRat]

They’ll like his sweet little back side in prison.

Sure, it was a teen and conveniently a Russian kid. Acting all on his own, uh huh. Selling the program online so everyone knew about it. I'm calling a huge steaming pile on this.

We still haven't heard who the other 3 “mall type” stores that were also hacked.

The teenager, Sergey Taraspov, is well known in cyber crime circles having developed other malicious codes to hack commercial systems.

I'm willing to bet that some research will turn up he's either from, or has family in the Chechen region and ties to a muslim radical group.

Anyone want to take that bet?

Now, the firm that first revealed the Target attack, is saying that 6 other companies suffered a similar fate.
That was announced a week ago but we still don't know who the other six are - why not?

[Go Gordon]

I wish the penalty for these types of crimes were as severe as 2nd degree murder. (If I were king, I would make it a capital offense)

[School of Rational Thought]

I guess we can thank the NSA for keeping us secure.

[hoosiermama]

Has anyone suggested he be hired by obamacare yet? Posting before I look and count how many!

[dennisw]

holy cow!!!

[hmmmmm]

Wasn’t it recently that Kerry was gifting potatoes to Russian diplomats? It seemed odd at the time, not so much now.

[Political Junkie Too]

A 17 year old Russian hacker who goes by the online handle of "ree4" 

His nickname is reefer? Maybe this kid is really from Colorado?

The Obama care site is said to be a security risk.

Any ideas out there on how it can be done?
