This is a no-true-Scotsman argument where none was asked for, but thank you for linking to Wikipedia properly. “Ethical” hacker is also a nonsense term. Ethics means the study of moral philosophy, it is not a synonym for “good” and to use it as such belies a superficial understanding of both morality and hacking.

> “Ethical” [...] is not a synonym for “good” I think it's generally accepted that these days it is a synonym for, if not "good" per se, at least "morally acceptable".
