Why he didn’t just jack someone’s wireless is a complete and utter mystery!

The moral highground against the powers that be isn't to grab your ankles and prepare your colon for the thousandth time.  I'll probably get slammed for saying this, but these are the new Idealists, Revolutionaries and Patriots of our time. I’m disappointed.

If you visit a decent ip lookup site when using a shitty web proxy it almost always passes on the IP chain through the proxy back to the end user. What a disappointingly novice cover method for one of the biggest hacks this year. PS3 addicts everywhere will be happy they got the guy. Why he didn't just jack someone's wireless is a complete and utter mystery! OMFG.

Here’s an interesting part from the PDF indictment against Kretsinger via section C explaining hidemyass.com:

A proxy server has a large variety of potential uses, one of which is to attempt to hide one’s true Internet Protocol or “IP” address from others, and to thereby remain anonymous.
