Troll of the year nomination

No, it has nothing to do with RSA, but it a doozy.

The story: http://www.networkworld.com/community/?q=node/9999

The communications director for Montana's lone congressman
solicited the services of two men he falsely believed to be
criminally minded hackers-for-hire -- with the expressed goal
of jacking up his college GPA -- during an exchange that spanned
22 e-mails over two weeks this past summer.

Two members of attrition.org corresponded with Shriber and fooled
him into believing that they would carry out his wishes, warning
him at one point: "You are soliciting me to break the law and hack
into a computer across state lines. That is a federal offense and
multiple felonies."

Caution:

These sites attempted a change to my windows registry.

Well, now that this story is on Slashdot the server's farked. Here are
some mirrors:

http://suso.suso.org/attrition1.html [suso.org]
http://suso.suso.org/attrition2.html [suso.org] (page 2)

BTW, nobody on Slashdot is mentioning anything about malicious sites, so
I have no idea what you're talking about re the attempted registry changes.

Its probably something pretty benign, reading the fine print in the warning
log
it refers to window placement. It may be just trying to make up its own mind
whether to open full screen or partial, who knows, but I hadn't seen it
before and messing with the registry just seemed the sort of thing people
should know about. Sorry if I jumped the gun.
