The element of motivation is important to this thread.
The same idea of small against big that led a (young unwise) hacker to rip-off
a large corporation could inspire a suite of security tools to help small
time internet publishers defend their pages.
On the other hand an ex-hacker might find themselves forced to choose
between ideals and job if they were asked to provide technical backup for a
prosecution.
So choose your career or employees carefully.

into mail packages? The more it is used the harder it will be to
eliminate. )
Pardon me for extending this thread further but it has thrown up more
interesting debate than I gave it credit for at first.
