WHEN his wife passed her exams, one Saudi man congratulated her by hacking into the website of the Saudi Commission of Electricity and Cogeneration and writing her a note:
“I apologize for the hacking your website, but I wanted to congratulate my wife Bashayir, my partner, after graduating. I wanted to tell her this through your website. I would like to wish everyone luck and success.”
But he didn’t leave it there. He added:
“Instead of [Saudi Arabia] passing hard punishments on hackers, you should close any loopholes so you don’t get hacked. I wanted to highlight to the owners of the hacked websites that you could contact me via email and I will show you the loopholes I found.”
His wife could soon he spending time along with her PC, as the man faces up to four years in prison and a 3 million riyals ($475,000, $800,000) fine.
