Hacking actually means modifying something or repurposing it to do something else that wasn’t its main purpose. It is not necessarily a security breach, but I blame Hollywood on this.
- beardedwizard 3y agoWhere is that written authoritatively that makes you so confident in such a statement? Non train operators repurposed radio equipment to stop trains. See how a bit of grammar makes all the difference, or maybe...just maybe trying to parse the term hacking so finely is part of the problem.
- tamimio 3y ago> Non train operators repurposed radio equipment to stop trains. Exactly, see what I said above >not necessarily a security breach So in short, a security breach CAN be hacking (sometimes it’s not like mitm etc.), but every hacking is not a security breach. Say I used a company server to propagate another attack, that might be hacking by definition, but hacking a toaster with some rubber band to do X is definitely not a security breach.
