Safety System Bypass = Six-Sided die and a Magnet...The machine normally has a safety system that stops the laser when the lid is opened, but the teenager, under the screen name Tetranitrate, managed to bypass that with a six-sided die and a magnet.

I can't imagine MacGuyver is too keen on that. Does he have him ball-gagged or something?Alleycat wrote:This guy is fucking MacGuyver....

Would you put your brain in a robot body?
You'd have the strength of 5 gorillas!
But why so short?

Just... Let me make sure I have this straight...
http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599,24 ... 09,00.html
A kid causes $20,000,000+ in damages.
He gets "paid" $40,000 for his part in it.
He gets caught.
He is convicted.
He is forced to pay $11,440.05 back in damages.
He walks free.
So in summary. He made $29,000 and walked free for credit card fraud and possible identity theft and whatever else...
And now the same people who caught and convicted him want to offer him a job...
I am so in the wrong fucking profession...

A-yep.
Wernher von Braun made rockets for the Nazis. Bombed the crap out of the allies.
Then the US swooped in, stole him away and gave him a full time job tinkering with rockets for them.
When someone is clearly a unique spark, I guess you have to make use of that as best you can, in spite of past offences.
I thought it was pretty funny that he walked away with almost 30k of his ill-gotten gains though - if they can prove he made 40 grand off cyber crime, I'd have thought they'd have confiscated that off him. Oh well.
It's important to note that this isn't just a case of right place, right time - plenty of script kiddies have pulled virus and security stunts in an ettempt to get hired by security or AV companies - mostly they're insignificant.
Whatever this kid has done must've been pretty impressive.
