Why Security Pros Fail: No Ethics, No Dice

In my industry, "ethics" advocacy is often a coded appeal to create a guild system with the advocates grandfathered in. That's what happened with the CISSP certification, which is lucrative for guild members are has absolutely no beneficial impact on the industry as a whole.

I stopped reading at "Cyber ethics? Hello! Most hackers I know think those two words are an oxymoron."

Most hackers I know are very concerned about ethics. Almost fanatical. They don't necessarily agree with eachother on what is ethical, but they care.

Ugh...The smug arrogance of the professional "security" community is sickening. This is a great article showcasing it.

Very good article. I'm definitely rethinking some of the admin tools I'm developing for a community website I'm working on.

Admins being able to login as any user (viewing only) doesn't look so good any more.
