Do we need the large red stop hand?

Where?

[edit]

This article is missing Where (one of the Five Ws) and it is entirely unclear where these teenagers or even the experts are located. Given the digital divide it does not seem possible that these observations are universal. Please clarify. --SVTCobra 01:43, 28 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

US, UK, Canada, Spain, New Zealand...Should have added some details of recent exploits by teens. There is a recent story ("Teen hacker admits to attack on scientology.org" — Wikinews, October 20, 2008), but it was felt that the focus was more on Scientology. Thanks for pointing out the missing 'W' and the reviewer comment (above) on the piece being pretty basic.-- TharikrishTalk 05:03, 28 October 2008 (UTC)Reply
This is missing How. By how much is it increasing, who is measuring it, over what time period. There have been script kiddies for a long time, as far as i can tell this is nothing new. In addition, the first paragraph does not make grammatical sense, and the last paragraph (If you get caught you won't get a job) seems somewhat one sided considering how many of the caught crackers are hired as security consultants.
