Rent A Hacker?

from the joke?--reality? dept

Thu, Apr 4th 2002 10:43am — Mike Masnick

The site certainly sounds like a hoax or a scam, but you never know. Newsbytes has an article about a site advertising hacking services for anyone with the cash to pay up. The site BeAHacker.com says they'll break into school computers to change a grade, change report information, access email accounts, etc. My guess is that this sort of stuff is really just a (seemingly successful) publicity stunt for them to sell their script kiddie software and info (which is probably available for free elsewhere). According to the article, advertising these services is not illegal. Actually doing them, of course, is illegal.

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

–The Techdirt Team

I guess they are real badass hackers.No one else would have the courage to write things like that on the web.
They have a disclaimer though,asking only for real orders.Cheeky guys thats for sure,because of this I like them.

www.rent-a-hacker.co.uk The best hacker site!!!!
There is a war between microsoft and www.rent-a-hacker.co.uk they revealed why firewalls on windows are ineffective and some other serious security issues.

In return they banned them!You can not find them in bing.com not even if you put their name straight into the search engine!

This is completely ridiculous!They told the truth so microsoft wants to wipe them out from the Internet!!!

rent-a-hacker.co.uk
rent-a-hacker.co.uk was good,or I would rather say it was too good.I have read those articles which made bing.com to block the site.After reading that I switched to Linux,and I keep it that way.

Re: hacking and destroying my VOIP phones
Dr KTM did not write that. Who is who behind the email hacks?

Someone as D.Oswald is the one who placed all the computers holding them under his control at the A.H.
WHO is WHO?

Forgive me for the delay response
