Teenager Hacks Police Webpage
A 17-year-old hacker has tampered the Belgian Federal police webpage. The hacker has 'defaced' the site by erasing its front page and placing instead of it the following message: "17-year-old cracked the Belgian police webpage. Internet protection of your site shows an obvious lack of competence by police officers. Authorities, revise the staff of the police - it will bring its profits!"
The police are inspecting the case. If the teenage hacker will be found, he is likely to be charged of computer fraud and even a penal case could be started.

I think that the intense misunderstanding of knowledge at certain professional levels leads society, (in general), to believe that what this kid did was criminal. He could have easily done much worse, assuming he had admin access to their CMS, or worse, root access to the server.

I don't think he should be punished. - 1 votes
