Hackers lose constitutional rights
If you call yourself a hacker online you automatically lose rights under the US constitution, a court has ruled.
The US District Court for the State of Idaho ruled that an ICS product developer's computer could be seized without him being notified or even heard from in court.
The reason the court gave was because the hacker in question, Corey Thuen, said on his web site that he liked hacking things and don't want to stop. According to Digital Bond, what makes the case particularly unpleasant is that the case was being bought by an employer. Battelle Energy Alliance is the management and operating contractor for Idaho National Laboratory. It has sued Thuen and his company Southfork Security.
