UK: Tsunami 'hacker' keeps security job

Graeme Wearden and Dan Ilett write in C|Net News:

When Daniel Cuthbert was convicted last month of gaining unauthorized access to a tsunami fund-raising Web site, many people--including the U.K. trial judge--suspected his career in the IT industry was over.

These suspicions were unfounded, though. Cuthbert is hard at work at Corsaire, a U.K. tech security company.

Martin O'Neal, director at Corsaire, confirmed Friday that Cuthbert had actually joined the company before his trial. O'Neal, though, isn't worried that one of his employees is a high-profile breaker of the Computer Misuse Act (CMA).
