"I did it for the lulz" doesn't cut it anymore.

The attitude of "The internets is serious business" kinda falls flat when people start dying over this crap.

Would be great if they could catch the person/persons responsible and charge them. Be even better if they could add the weight of the suicide to the case.
Now although the credo of original hackers frowns upon the destruction of data - and personally I don't think it's cool... "Doin' it for the lulz" certainly does still cut it. People didn't 'die over this crap', someone decided to opt out.

Although saying he did it because of it would be no leap of the imagination - and the most likely scenario, we'll never know for sure. But even if it was, and this will sound callous to some, that's his problem. Charge the schmucks for destruction of data if you can, most certainly, but for someone elses ultimate 'zomfg' emo moment? That's a bit much.
