Originally posted by Tom S. The one account I read said it caused $70,000 or $700,000 damage - I forgot which, but hey, the Pentagon's got lots of money laying around. Besides, England still owes us for a few tanks and things we sent over a while back.
Perhaps in terms of system administrator time spent patching and setting passwords on systems (apparently some didn't even have one set). Physical damage I doubt. I am very interested in seeing the government's figures as to how they calculate the amount of "damage" he caused.
Essentially, the U.S. need a scape goat to take the fall for their lax security practices. The only terror that he might have caused is panic by a few of the military's system administrators who would have to justify their negligence to their superiors. But then, that's just my untenable opinion.
