quote:
Lamo, 22, turned himself in at the U.S. courthouse in Sacramento, Calif., ending a five-day manhunt during which FBI agents laid seige to his family's home in the Sacramento suburbs and his defense attorney negotiated the surrender with federal prosecutors.

source:http://news.com.com/2100-1009_3-5073426.html?tag=fd_top

This particular individual did not harm any of the networks he found were vulnarable ,instead he helped them secure their network better. Now he faces serious charges and turned himself in.
quote:

Lamo has become famous for publicly exposing gaping security holes at large corporations, then volunteering to help the companies fix the vulnerabilities he exploited -- sometimes visiting their offices or signing non-disclosure agreements in the process. Until now, his cooperation and transparency have kept him from being prosecuted.

Another case like Kenvin Mitnick. But, Lamo seems to be in a better position than Kenvin Mitnick was. This kinda arrest really suxs. Such thing was going to happen once with me.
I breaked into an ISP and reported him that I breaked in and I could help him in fixing the network. But that bloody Fucker threatened me to complaint police. But, he couldn't do anything as he was not having any kinda logs pointin towards me.
