That is the silliest thing I have ever heard. So what you are saying is that any kiddy/professional attacker is allowed to do whatever they want to anyones systems and data because the net is "freedom". Equate it to the real world...if someone breaks into your house, they can do that cause they are free. If someone steals your possessions they can do that too cause they are free....sure Think about it. > ...you are responsable for your own security! That is true. Also sueing in the civil court sounds like a good idea. ----- Original Message ----- From: "andreas mayer" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Gary MacDougall" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <debian-security@lists.debian.org> Sent: Monday, March 25, 2002 4:24 AM Subject: Re: failed ssh breakins on my exposed www box .. > > We seriouslly need a US branch of the law-enforcement to deal > > with this sort of stuff.
