I agree with you a little
When I was a teen on the computer I was all over the web. Lets face it, you can click on a link and get prompted for a password, if you guess one....you just hacked your way in. It is a very fine line that thousands of people do every day. What can be done about it? I guess better passwords or a better login system, if your password is a dictionary word or name, you might be getting hacked right now.

It is rather simple minded to call out "hang him" and leave it at that. The web as it is....is not purely a business network.
