I just viewed the CBS NightWatch News. There was an interview with an FBI man and an "ex-phreap". They discussed the different crimes being committed by "hackers" and even went as far as to say that there is a difference between the hardened criminal who is using computers for credit card crime and the such, and the teenager who is just "curious". But in no way did they make it clear that not all hackers are criminals. I am afraid that we who are curious, but over the age of puberty had better made a different name to identify ourselves.
