What's everyone's opinion on hackers then?

I'm not really sure where I stand on this. On the one hand I think it's pretty amazing that some 17 year old kid can hack into the Pentagon and I think they should be taken on to improve security systems in some way. On the other hand, if they'd hacked my bank and put my account details online (not that these particular hackers did this) then I might have a different opinion.

Interesting how this Cleary character has Aspergers, as it draws a parallel to Gary McKinnon who's now been awaiting extradition for a decade (I'm [fairly sure I'm] against his extradition):

Also, can people stop using the word 'cyber' now?
