Bruce Schneier suggests that this article is a little too sensationalist: http://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2007/08/cyberwar_in_es...

WE refer to them as 'hackers' too? :-(

I think innovative and exploratory cracking can properly be called hacking, but this article refers to the crackers in question as "script kiddies," ergo not hackers.

Yeah. Journalists seem to have done a really good job of tainting the word 'hacker' that even the submission-titles here show the effect.

Yes, we do.
