That did not seem to be the point of the original post that I responded to.
Specifically, it seemed to imply that anything that was criminal could not be hacking.
The legal status of something, seems completely orthogonal to hacking to me.
- jfoster 3y agoThat wasn't my point in the original post. Obviously overlap between those two things is possible.
- Kamq 3y agoThen I completely misread the post. In my defense I went back and re-read it, and it still looks that way. But, y'know, tone and text and all that. I could always be wrong. What was the point then?
- jfoster 3y agoThe point was that it's a stupid and harmful crime. Calling it a hack makes it sound like a clever harmless prank. The point is about the characterization of it, not about what hacks can and cannot be.
