I put this in off topic because it sort of is, although it relates to internet security a little bit. I'm not sure if I should even link to this page after reading it, but here it is:

Wow, really well written and in depth story, love it and I have a bit sympathy for this kid

I started reading and got done with the first page and didnt realize there were 4 more

so far so good, but I'll have to save the rest for another night.
