So I set up a honeypot for a fraudulent order, and I'm completely disappointed in todays kiddies.

All he really uploaded was a CGI-telnet program, which they labeled "venson.pl".

I tried to get more than one credit card out of him, but couldn't. I suspect that he only had the one.

I've set up honeypots before though, and usually the accounts go totally unused. They never even log in once. After a few weeks, I just remove the account. I don't get it. What's their motivation?

I think they are testing out their credit card supplys :)

Maybe they don't want to be labeled terrorists? :rolleyes:

Hacking has become a bigger social stigma since Ashcroft appeared ("people who commit computer crimes are just as bad as Al-Queida!"). Maybe that's a good thing.
