I get the impression, reading the latest news about hackers, that the term ‘hacker’ has come to be applied worldwide to those who exploit the sheer incompetence of people responsible for information security. That is, if a departing employee of Company X still has access to resources, it is he who is the criminal and the hacker, and the person who failed to revoke the access, well, they probably just get a fine or a reprimand. If a café does not change the default ‘admin/admin’ on their Wi-Fi access point, the one who logs into it is always branded a hacker, while the café itself, of course, is not to blame.
Overall, each year it gets increasingly complicated with these copyrights and the protection of information.
