Hack of the year my ass, hello he "sniffed" the Internet - mind blowing
All it comes down to is people who think they are protected are not and everyone is watching.
It will be interesting though if they try to charge him with anything as I can't see anything he did wrong (as long as he had permission to put tor on the hosts he did)
Years ago I attended a "course" where the instructor said SSL encryption was being broken in real-time by one individual (who was a white hat). In REAL-TIME, of course if this got out everything would be screwed, online banking, SSL VPN's, etc. there is no real alternative and this would have catastrophic repercussions around the globe.
Now THAT's a hack...
