The post's here seem to be jealous rants, "he's a script kiddie, he just wants attention." I didn't see any mention of scripting tools in the article. This guy seems to be very young and very knowledgeable, so what he does gets on the news, and what you do doesn't. So what? Do you feel inferior? If your good at what you do you shouldn't, maybe your afraid he might get into one of your networks and expose you to the media. As far as wanting attention, we live in a nation of Jerry Springer watchers/wanna be guests, what makes you think some of those people might not be in the computer security community? Maybe he wants attention, or maybe it's just that what he does gets more attention. Who cares? Doesn't make a bit of difference in my everyday life or yours (unless you work at the NYTimes :)

Quit your bitching and get back to work making sure your configuration is not vulnarable.
