Day In The Life Of A Cracker

from the uh-yeah,-ok dept

MSNBC claims they've got the diaries of two hackers that someone paid to record their illegal credit card stealing activities for a day. To be honest, they're really not very interesting. They just sit around and try to steal credit card accounts. They're not particularly creative about it, either.

    That's pretty funny! The title sort of reminded me of a racial slur but I realised that it a software cracker and not a "cracker".

    Heh. For a while people used to get offended if you used "hacker" when you meant "cracker" (which is basically a malicious hacker) but I wonder if those days are over...
