WIRED: How two teen dropouts pwnd Comcast

[complacent]

Another shocking* article about a sysadmin who hung up on a legit call.

Linky found here.

However they got in, the intrusion gave the pair control of over 200 domain names owned by Comcast. They changed the contact information for one of them, Comcast.net, to Defiant's e-mail address; for the street address, they used the "Dildo Room" at "69 Dick Tard Lane."

Now, if you were the tech contact and someone called you to say "We found teh spl0itz in Ur b4se!" Would you have hung up?



* for sarcasm.

I'm still furious at them over the Torrent killing they've been doing. I spent some time downloading ScummVM. They finally shut down all the ports and I've been stuck at 99.57% for THREE MONTHS!!!!! stupid? I think so.

I think they could have done it differently though.
