> wack0 Wasn't that the kid that got busted for the Nintendo Gigaleaks? And then claimed his mental health problems "made him do it"? They also ported NT to G3/G4 Apple hardware: https://github.com/Wack0/maciNTosh | ||

> claimed his mental health problems "made him do it" You can scoff at the defense's arguments, but the prosecution's arguments were even more absurd. > Mr Reid told the court the attack was not discovered until two months later, and cost Nintendo £1.4 million in repairs to its systems. If the systems are insecure, they would have needed to be 'repaired' anyways! Revealing an insecurity doesn't "cost" anything, even if the method by which the insecurity is revealed is not what one would describe as responsible disclosure. The media got its sensational tidbit for the headline, but it's good the judge had more sense than trying to ruin a bright kid's life for leaking some 20+ year old prototypes and concept art. | ||
