When asked to describe what a typical 'hacker' looks like, most people will resort to film cliches such as Keanu Reeves from the Matrix. The typical hacker profile is that of a dank unkempt loner who lives in a basement lit by the harsh glow of an LCD and gleefully punches away at a keyboard, defacing websites and leaving rude messages on desktops.
So which is it: Keanu Reeves, movie-star looks and a smouldering stare with the occasional kung-fu fighting sequence, or the unkempt loner? I am always reminded how utterly and totally lazy reporters are. -==- Let identityLoveSock take your personal information into their wanting hands. http://www.identity-love-sock.com/ Because victims have money too.
