Hmm, shooting and killing yourself with your own Sniper rifle. All very clever I'm sure, but why would you want to?
Upshot is, someone sad had something that was given to him for doing something very sad, appropriated by someone even more sad.
I'd be leaping up and down at the security breach too, if were at all important in the greater scheme of things. Which leads to a serious point.
Security needs to be layered and classified. Putting your highest possible security level on everything has only two effects. 1) it pisses everyone off as the world grinds to a halt in a morass of Red Tape and 2) it provides a wider exposure of your best to those that want to beat it and, thus, renders it more vulnerable as the scrotes can practice on something that you're less likely to notice before gearing up for the real gravy.
While Mr. Scrote is bigging it up in his purloined virtual armour, he's not exercising his skills stealing my Bank Account details. More importantly, I'd like to think that the flannel he fed the dumb MS crowd to pull this off wouldn't work on the (very hopefully) more security-aware staff on my Bank's helplines, rendering his new skillset pretty ineffective for practical purposes.
Basically, let him have his fun where it doesn't do any real damage. With all the publicity, his details are almost certainly on someone's cybercrime watchlist somewhere. His Game is probably Over before it really started........
PS: Don't bother. Virtual flamethowers don't hurt in the Real World.
It's all very sad.
