Shame On Nike

just to add some more sauce to this marination of morons, heres a quote from the shame on nike site....

"In this case, it would appear that our system was breached and that it became possible for someone to perform the functions needed to receive the www.nike.com referral and pass it onto the server hosting www.s11.org."

ok, with his mentality, Nike could in effect sue him, for having poorly set up security, and for allowing thier domain to be pointed at his. if i were nike, and dealing with an ass of this magnitude, i would certainly be filing charges.... =p

I'm sorry, anyone who thinks nike is remotely responsible for this incedent, they need thier head checked. i hate nike, i hate micheal jordan, just to have any bandwagon comments thrown out before they start. but to think its thier fault, and not thier dumbshit ISPs fault is ludicrous. the ISP is the controlling entity here, not nike. the ISP should have(like all others do usually) required authenticated proof of authority of change, which is just plain COMMON SENSE. this shame on nike chimp is just looking for some easy cash, bottom line.

surprised hes not from america, considering thats our constitutional motto.....

I hate stupid people!!!!!
If your stupid, please do not have children so you can't spread your stupid genes.

Why is this guy an f***ing retard?

"Some might say that the hacker or hackers are/were responsible. To a small degree that might be true. However, Nike, Inc. must surely bear the largest responsibility since it was their total lack of security that allowed it to happen in the first place."

Hey wait, I thought it was the *hacker* that did the damage...Nike was a victim too. Since when has a victim been more responsible for a crime than the criminal?

"We believe we took the path of least resistance (to mitigate our losses and damages) by allowing the initial referral and by diverting the traffic back to Nike on their request."

He didn't have to do this. He knew at that point what kind of traffic he would have to handle by doing something like that. Why not simply block the DNS lookups? The fact that his nameserver doesn't know the Nike info would propagate to other nameservers, afaik, and the problem would take care of itself. Nike's NSI DNS entries being screwed up is Nike's problem, not his.

The nice thing for Nike to do would be to reimburse this guy for the massive redirection traffic he had to handle for Nike. But they don't have to. By hooking up your computer to the Internet you take risks; as an ISP operator this guy knows that. It's sad that many people can't simply accept that they acted stupidly, and instead become whiny bastards and blame everyone else.

i'd like to poop on that guy's head.
it would be fun to watch him try to sue the poop.

This is actually quite simple. It comes down to whether or not Nike took proper steps to protect their site. If they did not, then they are partially liable. However, if they protected things as much as possible, they can't be touched.
In no way are they fully liable, because the hacker has to be at least a wee bit liable... doesn't he/she?

My nike presto's: http://www.nike.com/presto/ Should be here today. These sneakers are kick ass.

ugh
the guy deserves to lose this lawsuit
anyone who does bolds on link hovers should DIE! =)

I have 1 pair of Nike shorts and that is it. ANd they don't even fit.

Fuckin' Nike.

How many hits does Nike get on thier website anyway?

Who the hell would go there instead of to a porn site or something?

The problem with this country's justice system is lawyers. Some shady cocksucker probably talked this guy into suing, just because he needs a new Jaguar

The Insane Off Topic Ramblings of The Tim, pt II.
Fuck Fuck Fuck! Fuck!
I called my local software shop about an hour ago asking if Diablo II was in yet, they said they had the collectors edition, and that they'd hold one for me, so I went on my jolly little way to pick it up. Lo and beyold, when I got there, the fucking crosseyed store manager had sold of my copy. Needless to say, I am quite enraged. On top of that, the guy in front of me in line got the last copy, prolly in all of montreal since that was the only store carrying the collectors edition. Ya, so Im pretty fucking pissed off now. Fuck.

the best thing about this is that they prolly won't even make it into court. I bet nike will settle with the guy and he will walk away with a nice check.

ADIDAS RULEZ

ADIDAD RULEZ

From reading the article, it really sounds like Network Solutions is the culprit. The guy is an ass for sueing Nike for sure.

what's next some kid downloads a zbot for quake 3 that has a virus then sues ID for leaving a security hole in the game that let him use the zbot?

Lovebug cretor officially busted on "credit fraud" hehe ...

after reading the story... OMG this is so fucking stupid.

WTF is wrong with some people? i paraphrase, these sort of people should be put on death row to prevent them from procreating. do the world a fucking favor.

Steve: nice recovery :)

UNSTOPPABLE!

Well I dont remember the case but there is one where a Burgler broke into a house stole some shit and then broke his foot while leaving the house going down the stairs. He sued the family of the house he was robbing and of course only in America did he win.

heh looks like im lost on this whole thing to. gonna re-word the story since i got it wrong.

I maintain that it's not Nike's fault that someone h4X0red their web site, even if they did make it possible.

My god, think of the precedent. Now, if someone can bust into a site, it's that site's fault for whatever happens [as leaving even the smallest security hole can be "negligent"].

only in america. hehe

Yeah go read the article this topic and explaination are fubared.

And after reading the story, you know the guy does have a point from what I read...

Yeah.. um..

When I read what Steve wrote, I kinda got the impression that the h4ck3r was suing..
But it was the guys business, so it's not that zany, really.
