sf h4x0r (again)
So . . . Batman wannabe Newsom just goes down to the jail, talks to "teh h4x0r" and gets the passwords, no problem. Wow. sfgate story here.
No press conference needed, no talking to the DA first . . .he must've wooed him w/ his Bruce Wayne looks and a pack of cigs . . . I like this part:"He gave the mayor the codes, and then we went over to (the Technology Department)" and gave the codes to computer engineers, Ballard said. "And when we got back to City Hall, we were each separately questioned by the (police) inspector, because we are now witnesses in the case."I can see them calling back-- "uh, can we talk to the prisoner again? yeah, hey, that pw didn't work . . .what? no, I put gnewsom@sf.gov, what? take out the @sf.gov part? Hey, that worked! Thanks! Kbye!" And the last paragraph of the story let the defense attorney get in a dig:
But there was a snag, Ballard said - the code that Childs supplied to Newsom didn't function immediately. Newsom had to call back the attorney, who provided more information, and the system started working, officials say.
Referring to the felony computer-tampering counts, Crane said, "Mr. Childs intends to not only disprove those charges, but also expose the utter mismanagement, negligence and corruption at (the Technology Department) which, if left unchecked, will in fact place the city of San Francisco in danger."I gotta get a job with the city . . man, 6 figures!? Wooo . . .
