Small correction, a Flash login form is not especially vulnerable to SQL injections. Nothing client-side can help you against those, not Flash, not an HTML form, not JavaScript, reason being that you can't actually control what runs on the clients in any meaningful way. The server the form sends its data to must handle all user input with special care, usually with prepared statements or input filtering.

This has been happening before the internet was thrown into their hands, just differently packaged through school assignments, surveys and questionares. Also being socially engineered and indoctrinated by sandbox framing or other words secret concentration camps by corporations... It's a big slap to the face if free will and freedom of thought were living things and were in fact not being infringed and violated by generations before us. (Classical violation of private conscience begins from the beginning of all things.) It's questioning and researching through observation and empirical data that you realize everything taught isn't necessarily true and many times contains embedded commands and I statements that programs individuals to believe they are not what they are but rather what operators / the hidden enemy working against them want them to believe so over time they become unrecognizable to even themselves.) The enemy is lurking everywhere, could be right in front of us and never know it. Science is the enemy. The Bible holds so many algorithms and scientific evidence that can be proven by many great thinkers and artists before us.

As an autistic 25 year old not familiar with coding, i am both offended by and proud of this man. Keep it up slipstream!

This is the most chaotic good person I've ever heard of. I think he is pretty much a cyber Robin Hood. He steals data from the mega companies either to give fans access to things the company didn't want them to (like the Gigaleak), or leaks things to the media to try and get awareness of how messed up these companies are. It makes sense it's illegal but I wish there was a way he could go about this without getting arrested.

I think that it shouldn't be illegal, a special case should me made for cases like these, where as long as they themselves don't leak to the public the personal data and inform the authorities they are exonerated from the crimes required to do it, and not only that they get a medal and a cash price. This would incentivice individuals to hack non malicously to get the medals for their resumee or the cash if they are bad on cash and at the same time it would incentivice companies to invest more in security to avoid legal problems and PR blows

When he took the Vtech data he could have very easily made multiple copies and sold them off anywhere and it wouldn't be traceable so having that information on a civilian third party computer is quite dangerous itself. This solution is messier though because than you don't have the evidence about the leak and the police most likely won't have hackers who can retrace your steps.

The dude literally hacked into NK because “why not” 😂

So, let me get this straight : The company which was caught collecting data from more than six million children didn't even have to admit that they did anything wrong, but the hero who alerted the public had to admit that he did something wrong? The irony here is that if he stayed silent he never would have been caught because they didn't even know a breach had occurred which means they just taught a lesson to whistle blowers everywhere to stay silent. I don't think it's fair to say that he caused damage to vtech. I mean, yes that had to shut down the servers but only because they screwed up.

By not holding vtech accountable that gave the green light for other companies to do the same thing. Google collects audio through its smart TVs via the "Google Assistant" even when Google assistant is set to off and I personally caught a smart TV record audio while the screen is on.
