Holly told Wired the whole thing started when he broke into a MySpace admin panel and found a plain-text list of passwords.

Seriously? I mean, I know their site is crap, but who stores plain-text passwords?

No, it's just that most criminals you hear about are completely stupid.

Smart people that commit crimes just get away with them.

"This type of crime can often be the precursor to further offending in more traditional areas of online crime," detectives told the Daily Mail.

they aren't even trying with the rationalizations any more

This.

It's not that difficult to get away with many, many small crimes. Bigger crimes are also doable, if not advisable.

If you COULDN'T get away with murder or robbery, we wouldn't need police at all.

What are you, stoned or stupid? You don't hack a bank across state lines from your house, you'll get nailed by the FBI. Where are your brains, in your ass?

Talk about low-hanging fruit. They should have just sent them some pizza and made prank calls.

looks like all these idiots forgot rule #1 of hacking: NEVER HACK FROM HOME.

Seriously, that's been the rule for 30 years. Why are people still forgetting it? Go to the nearest McDonalds, or Starbucks, or something.
