These individuals popularized and demonized by the media are often referred to as "Hackers" or "One who obtains unauthorized if not illegal, access to computer data systems and or networks." or the media definition "maladjusted losers forming "high-tech street gangs that are dangerous to society" (Chicago Tribune,
1989) Which ever one is best fitted they are indeed becoming a very serious issue and worry to some in our ever and constantly changing American Techno
