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].

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.

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

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

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

There are more hackers breeding every day, and more brilliant minds are turning into hackers. Security has advanced, but so have 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.
