Hackers

The term "hacker" used to carry with it a somewhat honorable distinction. A hacker is a person who has the innate ability to use or exploit an object in its existing state (in this case a computer's Operating System) to be used for something other than its original purpose. Due to the overabundance of PC crimes today the term hacker is more commonly associated with a person who uses his or her computer to maliciously attack another unsuspecting person's computer.
