It's sad... Look at some of the reports on some 'hacker'
being arrested for
pointing out a problem in some companies network. (WiFi maybe?)

You may be referring to the guy who pointed out to a reporter that the
Houston, TX County Courthouse wifi was wide open allowing complete access to
the network.  Also in that vein is Adrian Lamo, an underground hero of the
highest caliber who has just been arrested for helping many large
corporations like GE clean up their act.
