ZOMG! A Republican Communications Director tries to hire hackers to fix his GPA for grad school!

This is the funniest news that I've seen in quite a while! This guy, Todd Schriber, is the press aide/communications directory for Montana's Republican Representative, Denny Rehberg. He wants to go to grad school, but he doesn't think his GPA is quite up to snuff. He doesn't want it bumped up to a 4.0 level, just improved a bit. Now, isn't soliciting someone across state lines to commit a federal crime just a bit illegal? I'm wondering if the law is going to go after this guy.

The writeup is funny, just keep in mind that when the attrition.org guys start slinging technobabble that most of what they're saying is nonsense. You know, that ROT-26 stuff is pretty tough, easy to slip up on. And they're right, 3DES is really easy to circumvent. ROFL!!!

And my favorite part? The university that the guy attended that he wanted hacked to fix his GPA? Texas Christian University. Oh, and surprisingly, his boss fired him.


I could care less if the nerk is an R or a D, he's an utter moron regardless! Man, I'm going to be laughing at this all day!

Ah-hahahahahahahaha! Gotta love how they strung him along like that. Somewhere along the way, you knew this was going to have a bad ending - if the squirrel bit didn't get him to go WTF, nothing would, I guess.

I just loved the ROT-26 and 3DES references!

ROT-26 was a lot of fun to get. 3DES didn't make as much sense, but I think I get it now.
