EDF fined €1.5m for hacking Greenpeace computer

First of all, at least the judge saw fit to suggest that EDF must have known what was happening.

Secondly, I'd suggest French ministers probably knew what was happening too

3 Years for the rear admiral

Great, so that's why my bill just went up. It's a shame they can't just spank all the share holders rather than penalise the consumers.

I'll bet they wouldn't fine Greenpeace that much if they'd hacked EDF. :roll:
