*Any* kind of hacking attack is wrong. It doesnt
matter if the target is breaking the law. The way I
see it is that hacking is an illigal act of breaching
security - breaking privicy in it's basic form.
Whether the target is a good upstanding citizen or a
badone is not the point. I do not believe that
committing a crime is justifyable if someone else has
commited a crime in any situation other than personal
defence. If someone came at me with a weapon (I would
use every form of defence I could). Computer security
though? No, no excuse.

I know that companies and bent, I know that
governments are bent, but their are better ways than
simply hacking them. I have not yet been presented
with any justification for hacking.
