Computer hackers take it to the next level

Read this article in the Sydney Morning Herald today with the title "Hackers' posts designed to cause epileptic fits": http://www.smh.com.au/news/security/...131136956.html

How sad yet hardly surprising. I guess it was only a matter of time before something like this occurred.

With script kiddies they will try anything mean just to show how cool they are. Maybe they'll brag about it and get tapped.

Indeed. The media loves the word "hackers", but honestly this is just stupid kids that need a spanking doing the lot of this.
