Hacker
The term "hacker" has been incorrectly been defined as people who are out to damage, destroy, corrupt, or steal data, information, e-money, or any of a number ofd other things, online. Hackers are individuals who are intrigued by the nature of the net, how things work, what makes things tick, ext. They are not criminals, outlaws, or murders as the media-at-large would have people think. The correct term for the "bad guys" is "Crackers", not "Hackers"!
