It’s actually a smarter crime because imagine if you rob a bank, or you’re dealing drugs. If you get caught you’re going to spend a lot of time in custody. But with hacking, it’s much easier to commit the crime and the risk of punishment is slim to none.

The key to social engineering is influencing a person to do something that allows the hacker to gain access to information or your network.

The hacker mindset doesn't actually see what happens on the other side, to the victim.

Hackers are breaking the systems for profit. Before, it was about intellectual curiosity and pursuit of knowledge and thrill, and now hacking is big business.

No way, no how did I break into NORAD. That's a complete myth. And I never attempted to access anything considered to be classified government systems.

The Americans are the most gullible, because they don't like to deny co-workers' requests.

You can't go to Windows Update and get a patch for stupidity.
