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.

    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...
