Re: Modem Hacker Charged With ‘Aiding Computer Intrusion’
I've done this once before. My ISP called me and asked if I had noticed a speed increase. I played dumb, and acted like I had no idea what they were talking about.

Why don't these people get legitimate jobs? I'm sure they could get a job and get paid a six figure salary for finding flaws like this for big ISP's and other related things..so why don't they use it for good :\
