Hmmm...with all this wonderful American technology going (stolen???) to Eastern Bloc countries/USSR/China(?), I wonder how long it will be before some genius-level (okay...maybe not necessarily genius...) teenager will start hacking and do things like: change his/classmate's grades, give his father/mother/friend a promotion in the military/factory/farm, etc. Any speculation on this and what sort of punishment would get meted out by the powers that be??? Note: I am definitely NOT trying to start a political discussion. I'm just wondering what sort of things a 'hacker' in Eastern Bloc countries would do that might differ from what hackers here do.
