EPIC FAIL

In response to this article, regarding the hacking of an Australian Federal Police computer system, Concerned Citizen writes (as taken from the Slashdot IT post here):

“The Australian Federal Police database has been hacked, although ‘hacked’ might be too strong a word for what happens when someone gains access to a MySQL database with no root password. Can you be charged with breaking and entering a house that has the door left wide open? Maybe digital trespassing is a better term for this situation. ‘These dipshits are using an automatic digital forensics and incident response tool,’ the hacker wrote. ‘All of this [hacking] had been done within 30-40 minutes. Could of [sic] been faster if I didn’t stop to laugh so much.’”

Stupid Aussies.
