In this latest installment of “Stupid hacker tricks,” Andrew Brandt takes a look at the follies of youth and finds the current generation of cyberschnooks have transformed themselves “from Those Neighborhood Kids Who Set Fires and Torture Small Animals into international menaces who destroy online communities, damage the reputation and utility of online services, and steal anything worth taking from the Net — all while mangling the English language as thoroughly as possible.”

Fortunately for the rest of us, “most are as sloppy and egotistical as we’ve come to expect from the young and delinquent, leaving a bread-crumb trail a mile wide for authorities to follow.”

Check out the complete list of “Stupid juvy hacker tricks,” and while you’re at it refresh your memory of the original “Stupid hacker tricks” story for further tales of bone-headed cyberschnookery.
