And then there are the software companies that make big $ on the instability of the web. :hmm He said, for every public prosecution of a anti-social cpu-tech grad student, or fourteen year old kid-whiz playing games with the web, there a thousands and thousands of well paid hackers plucked from the geek community doing network security work, etc.
Before I got up and running again, the program took and disabled
all my passwords and started multiplying in size X2 everytime I
tried to disable it.
I know this low form of life takes on many shapes, sizes and
encompasses all age groups.

That reminds me time to do my weekly routine...
Adaware, Spybot, MS Anti Spyware, etc...
The good guys are hackers. It is the worms in your news articles that are called crackers. They often get lumped together. However, a hacker may find a way in but he or she will will do no harm and tell you how to fix it. A Cracker is looking for a way in and has malicious intent.
I take great pleasure in tracking the email headers for info and turning them in.
Some European countries encourage this kind of hacking and even help host hacker conventions. Here in the states, you get prosecuted. "Violating" the prestige of faulty programs can land you in jail, even if you notify the hacked party and provide a fix.Quote:

But you accuse an ethical hacker of being a cracker, you'll probably not like the consequences of that action.
