    Exactly!

    Yes, but the thing is - in our day in age, the charities are going to have to pay the stolen fees back - with extra charges.

    I wonder if you would feel the same if someone stole from you with intentions to help someone else
  • ajnast4rajnast4r Veteran

    It's theft, plain and simple. The hacker stole something which didn't belong to him. His reasons may have been sound, in his mind, but that excuses, forgives or justifies nothing.
    the case of Hincks, (1966) excludes any possibility of ignorance of the facts, assumptions of facts and possible extenuating circumstances.

    It appears that donations were made from credit card data of customers... Folks that were just paying for a periodical.

    "Did you miss our entire recession and mortgage crisis? Also the Occupy Movement?"

    No, I experienced the recession and am familiar with OWS

    Unless you know something about the company STRATFOR that I don't know, that groups them in the irresponsible greedy Corp group, then I think you may have missed the point of my question.

    The attitude that illegal attacks on corporations should be encouraged and celebrated, just on the basis that it is a corporation, worries me even more than the lack of regulation for the corporations that do not play by the rules. It's like approving attacks on a certain group of humans because some of those humans committed a crime?

    If it could be proven the "greedy corporation's" money had been stolen from someone else, I could see this working out on a technicality.

    However, in most cases, "greedy corporations" take the money we give them.

    I'm not saying they don't underpay their workers, or engage in immoral tactics, etc.

    I think it would have been more ethical to take from the corporations who hired the intelligence company, if one was looking to make a point.

    But...okay, I can't deny it's satisfying to see a company which obviously misrepresents its skills, get called on it.
