Vigilante justice in cyberspace

When companies want swift action against hackers, they don't always call
the law

By Bob Sullivan

You're a bank, and you think someone is trying to hack into your computer
system. Where do you turn? Law enforcement offers little help -- agencies
are overworked and understaffed, and you risk public embarrassment if word
gets out. Apparently, there's another option. You might decide to take the
law into your own hands. Which means you might call a man known as Lou
Cipher. "Lou" says he's spent the last 10 years working for Fortune 500
companies, turning the tables on computer intruders, performing what some
have called vigilante justice in cyberspace.
