Written By: - Date published: 10:15 am, August 24th, 2015 - 10 comments

Whitewash

Astonishing release late on a Friday afternoon (dump time!) that the police will not be pursuing any action against Slater/Ede for hacking Labour’s website. Given a whole year to investigate, they didn’t manage to find out how to spell Nicky Hager or Tim Barnett’s names.

Written By: - Date published: 12:14 pm, July 25th, 2015 - 72 comments

Charge Cameron Slater or let me hack systems
Written By: - Date published: 9:01 am, July 20th, 2015 - 107 comments
If the police have no intentions of enforcing those laws protecting computer systems, as they haven’t for Cameron Slater, then shouldn’t they tell us? I’d love to openly and freely hack into systems without legal retribution – just like Cam does. Why should we leave the fun to well connected technological idiots like Cam?
