Kind of a Robin Hood situation: Hero for some, criminal to the others. The article might be a collage of several other articles, and they didn't check for cons

Kind of a Robin Hood situation: Hero for some, criminal to the others.
The article might be a collage of several other articles, and they didn't check for consistency.
I would love some other term for the aligned side people in cyberwarfare, sort of "cybersoldier" or "networkmilitia", not already somehow cliched in some film. "Cyberactivists" sounds like online protesters (in facebook and such)
- hosh 1y agoWikipedia has an entry for "hacktivism". The people who illegally obtained classified information to leak to WikiLeaks have made a political impact: https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2024/06/26/wikileaks-leaks-reveals-hacking-influence/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2024/06/26/wikilea... as well as reprisals in the form of arrests and prosecutions. We also call Greenpeace "activists", but they also employed violent direct-action in their efforts against whaling. Carl Icahn calls himself a shareholder activist, and many people still consider him a vulture capitalist.
