Agreed. What hubris to believe that someone without the skills and training could do a quality job. Unless they're working for some collective organization with a twisted agenda these folks may be the X-men of the internet. I'm taking my car to a mechanic when it starts to have engine issues, not my local politician. If I've got an organization hacking problems, I'm hiring the best hackers available.The hackers, members of a collective called L0pht (pronounced “loft”), had recently boasted that they could shut down the internet in 30 minutes, and lawmakers had taken notice.
