For years, industrial sites that once fueled the city’s economy have sat idle and deteriorating in and around residential areas. Now, the brownfields are presenting an opportunity for residents to re-invent their neighborhoods.
I think someones pride was hurt in this. This is something that I do on a regular basis. A friend will as me before purchasing something on the net "Do you think this is a safe site to purchase from?" I will then go do my own battery of test to see if it is. If I find something I alert the site administrators to fix it. Case in point a site by the of "yoonew.com" (The issue has been fixed) had a RFI problem that allowed an attacker to view files on the local machine that was hosting it. So I called the site owner on his home phone and gave him his address, his ssn, and his bank account info. He could have easily said he wanted to press charges... but he was thankful that I called to alert him of the misconfiguration. Now I agree charge the kid if he had malicious intent... but if he alerted someone that had authority to make a decision on getting it fixed then I think this case will not make it far. As for the School District and the County they will be spending more money to try this case than to hire some one to fix the problem... just another case of someone placing there pride before good judgment... this is why our country is in shambles now!!!!
