Hacker Jailed For Stealing Facebook?s Source Code Tells All, Claims Innocence
He stole Facebook's source code, but never copied, published, or sold it. Then he was arrested and imprisoned. Now released after four months in jail, Glenn Steven Mangham claims in a blog post that he's an innocent white hat hacker who was trying to help Facebook patch security vulnerabilities. However, Facebook responded to my request for a statement about the 26-year old's claims with "Mr. Mangham's excuses have already been evaluated and rejected by a court of law, resulting in his conviction and jail time." Mangham says he planned to inform Facebook of the vulnerabilities, and could have entered Facebook's White Hat program that offers security researchers protection against legal repercussions. However,?Mangham was arrest after?possessing the source code for three weeks without informing Facebook. ?Is he telling the truth, or lying through his teeth?
