Some of us would like to heap some derision on the bastard, fart in his general direction, and send his email address to every known spam site.

Really, though…since this attack was “personal,” I’d like to see what happens to him (or her). I’m sure the SDMBers would enjoy monitoring the cretin’s progress through the legal system.

Keep the tar and feathers handy, we’ll let you know.

BTW, the FBI net page was also hacked into this week, so we’re in good company, I guess.

Wouldn’t it be something if the hacerk was gl0worm and she gets caught?

Ah, but that’s just too much to hope for.
