The British man Ryan Cleary, part of the Lulz Security
hacking group, has been charged by the US for hacking into several websites,
including that of the X-Factor. Mr Cleary, born in Wickford, Essex, has
also been charged by the US. The 20-year-old male suspect is accused of
breaking in to the Serious Organised Crime Agency website while he was still a
teenager. Cleary was taken into custody last March. If he gets convicted, he faces
a maximum of twenty-five years in jail.
Although what he did was illegal, I respect this man; not
because he is a criminal but because he is just twenty years old and already
able to hack into the most complicated and best encrypted sites in the world.
This man is a genius. If the UK is smart, they recruit him instead of sending
him to jail. Hackers are the best website defense builders in the world, this
is a fact. They know exactly how the hack a site so they also know how to
protect one.

I agree with you saying that it'd be wise for the government to hire this person. On the other hand, he has committed a crime and I'd say that the government should enforce the law when it comes to crime. Otherwise, where would you draw the line?
ReplyDeleteOn an unrelated note, how are you so sure that hackers are the best website defense builders in the world? I am not saying it's not true, but is it really a fact?
Again, though, I do agree with you and I think your blog is well-written!
Thank you :)
