Norm, I don’t condone what these folks are doing. We’re not in disagreement there.

I don’t care if people are breaking into files like this, or jacking car operating systems, enough is enough.

We shouldn’t make the case it’s okay to breach their files, but don’t breach mine.

Breaching files and systems should be a serious crime, and the penalties should be substantial.

This is not the best thread to make this case on, but it seems to me folks kind of wink and nod about these breaches.

If someone broke into my home and rifled my personal papers, and found out secret information, it wouldn’t be tolerated. I could take action against them. They would be guilty of theft.

What bothers me, is that these hackers are more or less thought of as modern day heroes of sorts.

Honestly, I wish there was an agency that could find these guys and put them in a room with no computers for 5 to 10 for this type of activity.

These guys put us all at risk. Breaching these systems is a security risk to individuals. In this instance those individuals are not people I care for. I don’t like their Lifestyle choices. They have made a confidential agreement, and the hackers should leave them alone.

We can’t smile when other people’s private information is revealed, then get up set when our own is. Private information should remain private.

It's more akin to you storing your stuff at a bank safe deposit box and someone steals it.

Even so, for a website that is, at best, a step down from a hard core porn site and expecting them to have great security is not the wisest move but the people that use this particular site are skeevy anyways but still, they don't deserve it.

Now, if your bank's website gets hacked, you are 100% correct, you would be right to scream this from the rooftops and it would probably be actionable but then again, what did Target have to pay out when their site was hacked?

A few years back there was a new person with a very distinctive screen name who posted some questionable comments here.

Following a google search on his unusual name, I found him on a website dedicated to all sorts of sexual perversions, with his addiction being incest and his request to exchange photos of his familial encounters with others like him.

I posted a copy of the link to him and he never returned to this site........

I actually think it’s more like ‘unhealthy obsession’. He seems to have fixated on me since I won’t give in to his God lectures.

If I end up in a hole with a small dog and some guy talking about skin lotion, you’ll know what happened to me.

I’m fine with nailing the perps. And throwing the book at them. But I am also fine with BS getting exposed whether legally or not. It’s still BS.

I don't have a problem with that description. Anyone stealing from a bank safe deposit box is recognized as committing a serious crime, and treated accordingly.

I don't object to the site being described in those terms. One could argue less damage is done from simple access to a port site. I don't think it's without negatives by any means, but the other site officially makes cheating possible, as a goal.

To me, a breach is a breach. If I like the site or not, I'm not for it. Banks, government agencies, commercial enterprises..., this is not good. None of it...

There was that time in Montana with the Sherrff’s girl I’d rather forget about though...

I didn’t know she was spoken for! Honest!

Norm, lets say your a Christian. That’s repugnant to a lot of people these days. Should they be able to breach your data then?

I suggest we shoot for stopping it all.

Like I say. Prosecute them fully. It’s impossible to stop. Anyone with an IT background will tell you that.

I look at it this way. It’s a war. Liberalism vs humanity. Play to win. If they get their data exposed illegally, I am not upset. They will do the same to me and smile. It’s a wash.

Look at the last 3 days alone. He was good for a couple weeks but he seems to for in bursts.

I wish it didn’t have to be the way it is. If they want to be what they are, I have no problem dragging my feet about their ox getting gored when coming to their aid. Could take centuries.
