Politics can be fun, and it can be real ugly, and often both at the same time. And in this digital age, everyone has a chance to get involved, including script kiddies that have a political axe to grind. Go read the story here. But what got me about this whole deal was this quote from Dan Geary, who runs Lieberman’s site:
“This is a direct disruption of a federal campaign,” he said. “I have to see us go to an era where security is primary instead of the primary focus being new and innovative ways to get the message out.”
Uhhh, that deserves a big “duh”. Dude, you run the website. I am sure you are an activist and want to get Senator Lieberman re-elected, but running the website and securing the website is your job. Frankly, that quote sounds more like something a politician would say rather than a web admin. If you don’t know that you are going to be dealing this kind of stuff, then the good senator hired the wrong guy. Sheesh.
