How I Cracked the Internet and Why It’s Still Broken

In early 2000, the websites of CNN, Yahoo, E*Trade, Dell, Amazon, and eBay ground to a halt for several hours, causing panic everywhere from the White House to suburbia and around the world. After two months and hundreds of hours of wiretapping, the FBI and RCMP staged a late-night raid to apprehend the most wanted man in cyberspace—a 15-year-old kid, Mafiaboy. Eight years later, Mafiaboy, a.k.a.Michael Calce, has ignored requests from every major media outlet in North America and has not told a word of his story—until now. Using his experience as a cautionary tale, Calce and award-winning journalist Craig Silverman also take the reader through the history of hacking and how it has helped make the internet the new frontier for crime in the 21st century.

Il racontera son histoire à la CBC à Stroumbo à l’émission the Hour ce mercredi.

Finnish school gunman kills nine

Si j’avais une thèse à faire en psychologie, je pense que je me pencherais sur ce sujet. Je comprend mal le lien, entre tuerie et école. Représentation de la société en plus petit. Difficulté d’adaptation, d’acceptation, films, jeux vidéo ? J’ai vraiment trop de question.

…police interviewed him on Monday but decided they did not have enough evidence to revoke his licence, the interior minister said.
