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

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.

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

When I was hacking, it was more pushing the status quo and seeing how far you can go.

Humans make mistakes. Programmers are bound to make mistakes. Hackers, you can bet your life, are going to be there to exploit those mistakes.

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

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.
