Man, I hope my password isn't in there.
What's your password? I could check the file to see if it's there. I found one of mine. Does anybody know from where these passwords are from?

#12Way to go buddy! This research is indeed necessary and releasing such a dataset will be beneficial. Maybe it will also bring light to how outdated password based authentication really is.

#13Everyone knows the whole email/password concept is broken. I believe that overall OAUTH is needed, but it needs a much stronger consumer facing view.

#14> He was close to Anonymous and was in fact their spokesman.
Err, no he wasn't. He just managed to get a modest amount of attention.

A well-implemented OAuth implementation is wonderful. Sadly, many implementations are just crappy.

From the article:
Most of us expected that those charges would be dropped and some were, although they still influenced his sentence.
So while you're correct that Brown was not charged with linking to information, it's worth noting that this was still used against him anyway.
Also, people who think the linking to hacked data was the only thing that got him arrested are being disingenuous (or are simply ignorant).

but what do you think about the big picture?
I don't know much of the specifics about Brown, but I think the wider point is worth discussing, especially with respect to the proposed change in legislation.

I'm not sure how OAuth can help. Does it allow you to choose whom to authenticate with, or does it tie you to one specific provider? I much prefer Persona, but Mozilla has abandoned it, and most resources around it are dead links. What a colossal shame.
