Yeah, and most of us know it's a bad idea to have misconfigured proxy servers, but that Lamo kid keeps getting into major networks.

I didn't find that part unconvincing, most of security is just taking care of the obvious and stupid.

What I did find less than convincing was Monkeyboy's portrayal of himself. I suspect he isn't nearly as effective as he portrays himself, just another person pretending to be someone important. That would explain why he did the interview too.

What exactely is a "hacker" anyway, and what qualifies one for being competent when you're doing illegal things? Does credit card fraud make one more of a "hacker" or just more of a criminal?

Whatever....I can't say I'm too worried about that monkey getting into my system....lol.
