Typical hackers

Screw that, go check the original definition of hacker. Those who do bad business with computers are "black hats" not "typical hackers"

Of course you're right, historically. But since the word hacker came to mean both good and bad in the general publics mind, this is where we are in 2024. We can't fight it.
