He was harmless. They needed to have changed those default password to prevent
a friendly 'breach' and change of Wintendo wallpapers.

But... they need a scapegoat to blame to cover their backs and protect their
jobs. It's always dem Evil Hax0rs! Those kids that change thee default
Teletubby wallpaper...

UK gov sets rules for hacker tool ban

,----[ Quote ]
| A revamp of the UK's outdated computer crime laws is long overdue. However,
| provisions to ban the development, ownership and distribution of
| so-called "hacker tools" draw sharp criticism from industry. Critics point
| out that many of these tools are used by system administrators and security  
| consultants quite legitimately to probe for vulnerabilities in corporate
| systems.

German Security Professionals in the Mist

,----[ Quote ]
| This hope was important because earlier this year the German Government had
| introduced similar language into Section 202c StGB of the computer crime
| laws, which would have made the mere possession of (creates, obtains or
| provides access to, sells, yields, distributes or otherwise allows access to)
| tools like John, Kismet, KisMAC, Nessus, nmap, and the ability to Google
| effectively a crime.
