Interesting both that the admission was made, and that the person hacked has not made more of a stink about it. While the 'youthful exuberance' excuse is bollocks as she was apparently 28 at the time, it certainly was juvenile.
Because Harman would have to admit her password was "PASSWORD" or something equally embarrassingly weak!
Hacking is a serious offence. She should be prosecuted and the book be thrown at her (one would hope that the UK is not a banana republic). I am guessing the sentence for such a crime is a significant custodial sentence?
Actually, being hacked is a serious offence. It shows that you are not taking computer security seriously. You have a dumb password, or you are careless, or you are naive. It is unforgiveable for someone in Harman's position.
It is Harman who is the guilty person.
Good bit of victimblaming. Is it fine to burgle houses with open windows or unlocked doors?

It really isn't. It might be decided it was so juvenile and so long ago it is not in the public interest to charge the perpetrator, but come on. Plus it was only a personal website, not exactly unforgivable for someone to be a bit dumb with their password. Heck, Harman herself may not have known it, I doubt she edited the thing herself. But it hardly matters.

If that is the most idiotic post of the year then we are in for a very smart year, in fairness.

The most heinous of crimes. Surprised we abolished the death penalty for it, to be honest.
Indeed, especially if the perpetrator is a Tory (that should be a crime in itself).

Guess away.
I doubt the CPS or the police or Ms Harman can be bothered, but the good news is: you can! The list of offences which can't be the subject of a private prosecution is short, and hacking websites is not, afaik, on it. So: you gonna bring a private prosecution, if no one else does? I do hope so. Because "pompous blowhard" is an ugly expression, and I'd hate to have to use it.
The Tory government’s military and financial support for the very worst kind of jihadi extremists in Syria (and Libya and Afghanistan looking further back of course) will be a shameful stain on our nation’s history for a long time to come. The fact that these jihadis, bedfellows of ISIS and al-Qaeda, are about to be wiped out, in a major net positive for the world, has the corrupt and discredited transatlantic security establishment reeling and angry.

Failure to condemn Russia and Iran over gas attack killing many children in Syria.
His association with Russia, Iran, Hamas and anti west forces now front centre and across the media
How many Tory MPs are criticising a rogue nation like Israel for the systematic and planned murder of Palestinian children day in day out? When will the UK government take action against state terrorism? Weak and pathetic is the usual response! Meanwhile a pariah nation like Israel gets away with murder - quite literally.
On Israel Palestine I am neutral. I have visited both Israel and Jericho/Bethlehem and see faults on both sides
However, my post is directed at the current issues on chemical and nerve agent use by Russia or supported by Russia and the war goung on in labour over anti semitism.

You're probably right that this incident isn't a big deal either way.
But, I think my original point is correct. If a doctor, or an army general, or a teacher, or a public examiner or even a banker or financial services provider was hacked, & personal records or confidential information was put at risk, then they would receive scant sympathy.
If they had been deemed to be negligent (for example by choosing an easily crackable password), they'd be facing disciplinary/legal action.

Just reposting two of the points made the other day in my biblically long post about this as more news is on its way out about why the UK genuinely believes its Russia.
'5. This Novichok variant only ever had one active manufacturer. Russia. No other country has declared or indeed been subject to heavily weighed circumstantial or other evidence backed suspicion or confirmation by any verification body of having this Novichok variant in a production program.
6. The original Novichok formulas have been developed since their existence was revealed, by one state as part of an active and again undeclared production and test program: Russia. '
Syria: There appears to be limited US material sitting in the Med for an extensive missile strike similar to the one that was launched last year around this time. There are sea and subsea resources that could fire off a few dozen cruise missiles
That of course assumes IF the US launches that it'll come from the Med.
The Russians, despite the boasts about their prowess, can't cover every angle and you will not see a US craft in Syria airspace if the US just spend their days with stand off weapons. Anyway as long as their personnel don't get hit they probably will swallow it. Throw up an AD shield, possibly but maybe then only on a part of the country. Retaliate? The likelihood is small and ironically gets smaller the heavier the US go in. Bear in mind too that Assad himself barely has a military that he controls, a huge number of largely outside controlled proxies or Syrian personality militias are the best forces he has. The airforce and some command stuff is high on the make a point, limit risk list. Go and strike his proxy forces, it gets more messy.
The options are already on the table for the US, they don't have to generate anything new. There was internal debate only weeks back on whether to launch a strike after other reports about chemical weapons use. Its really just if and how heavy.
Edit: that decision on go or no-go by the US is reportedly due this evening, unless they sleep on it.

There's a difference between not completely discounting a possibility, and implying or directly stating that something is a false flag every single time anything happens, ever. Swallowing everything one is told is certainly not wisdom, but neither is swallowing every alternate hypothesis, often self contradictory, of every single claim that is made.

The options are already on the table for the US, they don't have to generate anything new. There was internal debate only weeks back on whether to launch a strike after other reports about chemical weapons use. Its really just if and how heavy.
Edit: that decision on go or no-go by the US is reportedly due this evening, unless they sleep on it.
Absolute nonsense from top to bottom. Where to begin? This guy is a joke.
Isn't Yokel, how should I put it, informed in such matters? That's the impression I got.
Thats the impression he likes to give, but when you actually know something about the subject, as I do about Syria, you find out he is just parroting some crap he read in some nutty Neocon journal or something. Charlatan.
What are your bona fides on Syria? What expertise do you have?
Just reposting two of the points made the other day in my biblically long post about this as more news is on its way out about why the UK genuinely believes its Russia.
'5. This Novichok variant only ever had one active manufacturer. Russia. No other country has declared or indeed been subject to heavily weighed circumstantial or other evidence backed suspicion or confirmation by any verification body of having this Novichok variant in a production program.
6. The original Novichok formulas have been developed since their existence was revealed, by one state as part of an active and again undeclared production and test program: Russia. '
Syria: There appears to be limited US material sitting in the Med for an extensive missile strike similar to the one that was launched last year around this time. There are sea and subsea resources that could fire off a few dozen cruise missiles
That of course assumes IF the US launches that it'll come from the Med.
The Russians, despite the boasts about their prowess, can't cover every angle and you will not see a US craft in Syria airspace if the US just spend their days with stand off weapons. Anyway as long as their personnel don't get hit they probably will swallow it. Throw up an AD shield, possibly but maybe then only on a part of the country. Retaliate? The likelihood is small and ironically gets smaller the heavier the US go in.

Your knowledge is from the Russian side. So hardly impartial, comrade....

Failure to condemn Russia and Iran over gas attack killing many children in Syria.
His association with Russia, Iran, Hamas and anti west forces now front centre and across the media
How many Tory MPs are criticising a rogue nation like Israel for the systematic and planned murder of Palestinian children day in day out? When will the UK government take action against state terrorism? Weak and pathetic is the usual response! Meanwhile a pariah nation like Israel gets away with murder - quite literally.
On Israel Palestine I am neutral. I have visited both Israel and Jericho/Bethlehem and see faults on both sides
However, my post is directed at the current issues on chemical and nerve agent use by Russia or supported by Russia and the war goung on in labour over anti semitism.
Sky news tonight was terrible for Corbyn's inability to address the issues
Do you completely discount that this could have been a false flag? We are talking about extremist al-Qaeda type jihadists in Douma, who parade women and children through the streets in cages because they are the wrong sect. You think it completely implausible they would stage and publicise fake attacks in order to give their sponsors (shamefully, prominently including the US and UK, in what will be a long lasting stain on our history) an excuse to try and help them before they are finally defeated for good? You'd have to be a bit thick, surely?
Yes, utterly implausible to the point of lurid fantasy. As for ‘a bit thick’.... again with the glass houses.

My impression FWIW is that Yokel does have good sources close to intelligence, but his info is only as good as they are - for example, he asserted confidently that Assad was toast when he wasn't (because they hadn't anticipated the Russian intervention). Nobody's right all the time...
Interesting both that the admission was made, and that the person hacked has not made more of a stink about it. While the 'youthful exuberance' excuse is bollocks as she was apparently 28 at the time, it certainly was juvenile.
Because Harman would have to admit her password was "PASSWORD" or something equally embarrassingly weak!
Hacking is a serious offence. She should be prosecuted and the book be thrown at her (one would hope that the UK is not a banana republic). I am guessing the sentence for such a crime is a significant custodial sentence?
Actually, being hacked is a serious offence. It shows that you are not taking computer security seriously. You have a dumb password, or you are careless, or you are naive. It is unforgiveable for someone in Harman's position.
It is Harman who is the guilty person.
Most breaches tend to be the result of somebody doing something dumb, but fundamentally, computers cannot be secured. Even if you're careful and sophisticated you'll still lose to bad luck, or a sufficiently determined adversary. And in any case, everyone does dumb stuff from time to time.
Somebody appears to be busy in the air over Lebanon towards the Syrian border. It should be noted its a very common Israeli air force tactic to come in via the Med, straight over Lebanon.
Yes, but you might not realise that half of these people want a referendum so that they can reject the sellout deal that May is putting together, not because they all want to vote for a softer Brexit.

Like Brexit in reverse, it doesn't matter why people vote against what's on offer, as long as they do.

Yes it does, because it depends on the two choices on offer in the hypothetical referendum. People wanting a referendum where rejection means staying in the EU are clearly different from those wanting a referendum because they prefer a no deal Brexit to whatever is negotiated. And any referendum couldn’t fudge which one is on offer (hint: it would be the latter)

I notice in the last one, the NHS bleated just like you. "We are the victim", bleat, bleat.
Sorry, but if you hold a position of responsibility, if you hold records, if you hold data, you have responsibilities too.
If there was confidential information on Harman's computer, it is HER responsibility to ensure it is secure and not susceptible to hacking.
Night night x
I doubt the CPS or the police or Ms Harman can be bothered, but the good news is: you can! The list of offences which can't be the subject of a private prosecution is short, and hacking websites is not, afaik, on it. So: you gonna bring a private prosecution, if no one else does? I do hope so. Because "pompous blowhard" is an ugly expression, and I'd hate to have to use it.
I suppose that you blame the victims of Murdoch's phone hacking for similar reasons to your logic above?
I dare not ask what you think scantily clad women deserve....

But, I think my original point is correct. If a doctor, or an army general, or a teacher, or a public examiner or even a banker or financial services provider was hacked, & personal records or confidential information was put at risk, then they would receive scant sympathy.
If they had been deemed to be negligent (for example by choosing an easily crackable password), they'd be facing disciplinary/legal action.

The NHS said "Oh, we are the victims, bleat, bleat"
The Information Commissioner said "Here's your 375k fine." (Of course, as it is the NHS, the taxpayer paid)
Good night
Anyway may I wish you and all posters a peaceful nights rest
Good night
