Owen Thor Walker (AKA AKILL) was let off in New Zealand after admitting he had written software to create a botnet army that was then used by other people to hack into computers.
We've all heard the argument about if you manufacture hammers with a legitimate purpose you're not responsible if they are used to break down a door in a robbery. But are we really going to want to live in a world where if you create a hacking tool that has no other purpose than to steal from other people you are not guilty of something?
Perhaps Owen is the ultimate "ethical hacker".....yeah right.
