Interesting story from The Register:

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2012/03/05/github_hack/

I think this is a case example that "cracking" computer security
systems is not an inherent evil, and that exploring vulnerabilities
can be done out of good, unselfish motivations. Imagine how many extra
vulnerabilities might be closed up on the Web each year, if curious
hackers didn't have to break the law or sign official contracts in
order to explore those vulnerabilities.

Just a thought...
