Subject: Re: VPN providers and any providers in general...

Ok.. my final posts on this matter i think... and opinons,

(No, seriously, I wonder what your opinions are on rehabilitative rather
than punitative measures to be taken against criminal hackers, assuming
fraud was *not* involved, and what benefit they can be to the community and
whether it outweighs the negative effects of not making examples of them).

It does outweigh, for, each time a perso is jailed it costs you, me, and
anyone wh works, money.
We can re3duce the harm, by education and counselling. Especially forced
hours per-week basis, of counselling with a qualified psych, possibly before
release even better.
I think the IQ level is higher, therfore, there is a 'smarter' chance of it
happening, asmuch as theyre hacking, theyre also gaining tremendus knoledge,
many do go into IT sec, we just cannot see those cases really..and when we
do, theyre usually yrs after the thing has happened, but, i could think of a
few EU based guys who are hapily workin for huge co's, making massive cash,
evven maker of Morphine, HolyFather, admittedly went into Av, and made
rootkits for years.
So, for sure, why put them in jail, it is just going to 'harden' , like
anyone will when ones back is up against the wall, as it will be in jail
ofc.
I think rehab, rather than retalliate.

Bedtme here for me :)
I enjoy your posts, and i think the whole topic has much merit in these
lists, other than just about a cpl of websites, pople forget that it is
still about, the freedom to even, do a simple pentest , really thats the
crux of it.

So, i think,some method used by psychology, could very easily work,
especially because, these guys are usually VERY smart, and, the can still be
'saved' unlike some hardened armed-robber/burglar...
The chance of rehab, is specially high because of the intellectual platform
it takes  just to be at a simple or mediate level of the scale, in terms of
'hacking' in hgeneral.
cheers,
