Infosec community disagrees with changing 'black hat' term due to stereotyping
- dave_4_bagels 6y agoFinally, someone takes a stand against this bone-headed cleansing of language. The hacker community as I remember it was always pro gay, trans, etc. didn't give a flying f*ck about what was between your legs, just your ability. Especially on the black-hat side. Look at any video of Defcon... It's time that those of us who are educated and capable of articulating our ideas stop allowing radical tyrannical group-think to change our culture for no good reason. Racism is a problem and has no place in our culture, but changing words doesn't do anything to change that!
