The hackers that couldn't code straight

Had to laugh reading this story about the three men charged with hacking and installing a packet-sniffer at several Dave and Buster restaurants across the US. The scam did result in hundreds of thousands of dollars of fraudulent bank card charges. However, the packet sniffer software was so buggy that when it was first installed at the first Dave and Busters, it did not even work and captured no credit card data.  The next version of the program worked a little better, but it seems the criminals had to continually go back to the restaurants and restart the program when it hung up!

I don't know what is more disgusting.  The lack of quality of the sniffer program or the apparent lack of any security at all by the folks running the restaurants.  In any event I see a bright future for the outsourcing of hacking programs to people who can do a better job than this Apple Dumpling Gang.
