The hacking trend has definitely turned criminal because of e-commerce.

It's kind of interesting, because hacking is a skill that could be used for criminal purposes or legitimate purposes, and so even though in the past I was hacking for the curiosity, and the thrill, to get a bite of the forbidden fruit of knowledge, I'm now working in the security field as a public speaker.

Hacking is exploiting security controls either in a technical, physical or a human-based element.

As a young boy, I was taught in high school that hacking was cool.

My primary goal of hacking was the intellectual curiosity, the seduction of adventure.

I got so passionate about technology. Hacking to me was like a video game. It was about getting trophies. I just kept going on and on, despite all the trouble I was getting into, because I was hooked.
