Comment: Moderation vs Administration (Score 1) 533

I think you are pretty close. /. recycles its moderators. Very quickly. This is probably not quite doable for wikipedia.

I suggest that there is some limit on the length of time one can be an admin. Increase the size of the pool (still have screening), but decrease the time you can admin. There are lots of ways. Some sort of cycle - 6 months on, 6 months off - that sort of thing...

There is some truth to what you say, but I don't think this is publicity that the hive will mind.

They have been "hackers on steroids" for a long time now, and this just furthers their reputation as people not to mess with.

I doubt that anyone will do time for this - it's just simply to easy to be anon these days. The only members of the hive who have been caught are LOICers not proxying.

Regardless of all of that, this is still massive HBGary fail.

The emails are the gift that keeps giving, see wikileaks angle today.

Lets just score this:

Anonymous: No damage. No arrests, no lawsuits, no exposure of anyone that wasn't already in the open.

HBGary: Emails stolen. Websited pwnd. Crap security protocols exposed. Significant reputational damage. Corporate imaged tarnished (looking like fools will do that to you).

Summary: There IS such a thing as bad publicity.

Final Score:
Anonymous 5, HBGary, 0.
