Back in my era, hacking was all about messing with other hackers. It was a hacker war.

Where there's a will, there's a way. Hackers tend to find a way. Code is also expanding. More lines of code means more probability that there is an exploit that can be [used].

I have done conferences explaining that cloud is a bad idea. It's putting all your eggs in one basket.

As the world becomes more digitalized, there are more entry points for hackers.

A lot of people would enter restricted sites just to say they can, and then log out. Today, everything related to hacking seems to be for monetary gain.

It's much easier to become a hacker now. It was a private community before and you had to find your way in, like tumbling down a rabbit hole. Today, there are all-in-one desktops fully equipped with tools pre-built into the operating system, all related to hacking. They are all very powerful tools and free to download.

A lot of hackers set up scam sites. They can impersonate a site like PayPal, for instance.
