"A Houston man who once showed a Harris County official how easy it was
for an outsider to access a county computer system was accused by a
federal grand jury Wednesday of doing just that.
Stefan Puffer, 33, was indicted on two counts of fraud for allegedly
hacking into the county district clerk's wireless computer system that has
been taken out of operation because of its vulnerability."

Sounds to me like he was acting as a 'white hat' and showing someone the
hole, not hacking thru it.
