User blog:Gawains/In defense of LAHM (Yeah, you heard that right)

I'm gonna say something that's an extremely unpopular opinion.

I don't think LAHM is actually that bad.

No really, I'm being serious. These people aren't doing any damage, in all seriousness, its mainly our fault and PBS's fault for having an awful password system. Its a gold mine. These people aren't trying to ruin lives, they just do it for fun. They aren't a black-hat hacker either. Its not a bank account. Its not any other personal info, just a PBS Kids account. I'm pretty sure some of the people I know who are hackers could literally hack thousands of users in one day, you guys use passwords like "computer21" and expect it to be a safe password. Its not.

I think we need to calm down and realize this was probably just someone who was bored one day and just had some fun messing up random kids accounts. We overreacted. If the game allowed stronger passwords, this would have never happened. It was just something someone found and had a ball playing around with it.

In the end of the day, as long as they aren't doing anything bad liking hacking into bank accounts or whatever, this user is completely fine. They were just bored. They are probably honestly a reasonable person outside of all this. Grey-hat hacking is where you do stuff like this but not have bad intentions, its just for fun. You guys really need to calm down on the "WHAT IF LAHM RETURNS" and "I HATE LAHM". They are gone. ANYBODY can make an account like "MEISLAHM" and just randomly say a comment on the blog. This was most likely just some random person who was bored one day, looked up random kids sites, and found a weak spot, Kart Kingdom.

I used to be scared of LAHM, but now I see this is just some overreaction.

I hope you can see it too.
