the term hacker is a word that has chaged radically with the times. (like the word marriage from the foundation of america - 2004, and the politically correct word that it is today) I was going to sit down and respond to this question. But I needed a piece of information clarified, and found a great responce. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hacker has all the definition you could ever want. |

Hacker originally referred to a clever or expert computer programmer. These days it is more used to refer to someone who can gain unauthorized access to other computers/networks or data. A hacker can find or "hack" his or her way through the security levels of a computer system or network. This can be as simple as figuring out somebody else's password or as complex as writing a custom program to break another computer's security software. Hackers cause software manufacturers release periodic "security updates" to their programs. While it is unlikely that the average person will get "hacked," some large businesses and organizations receive multiple hacking attempts a day. |
