TechCrunch Crowdsources Justice

The TechCrunch website was hacked and defaced back in January of this year.

With the help of Ireland’s national police force and the U.S. Secret Service, they have now discovered the hacker, and are deciding how to proceed.

Interestingly, they have left the hacker’s fate up to the readers of TechCrunch. A poll will decide whether or not the company presses charges.
