Re: A Hacker Is A Criminal

Somewhere along the line hacking went from trying to get in to another system for the challenge of it, to a way of exploiting the users data and resources for financial gain. So instead of hacking for the challenge and to learn something, it became hacking for criminal intent. The makers of viruses that were just trying to wreak chaos and havoc, decided to try to profit from the ignorance and the hard work of others. So that is what makes them criminals.
The government can write a million laws against spyware, identity theft, and spam but in the end laws are written for criminals, not the law abiding.
With that said the war is between the criminals and the computer-security challenged. The greatest weapon in the war is knowledge and education. So it is Forums like this one and Tech Support Guy that give us a chance to win the war. So three cheers for this forum and the users that give up their time to help us when we need it!
Ok, I will put away my soap box now.
