Computer Intruders
From Hackers-IL
The meaning of Hackers as far as Hackers-IL is concerned is simply people who are enthusiastic about computers (or more generally any other thing), and like to tweak them, play with them, get them to do things they cannot do yet, etc. We are not (or not necessarily) computer intruders, even though the media-perpetuated term is identical.
We do not approve of such activities as intruding into computers to which one has no permission to enter, much less trying to sabotage them. Most of the people calling themselves hackers are not black-hat computer intruders. Computer intruders should be called "computer intruders" or "crackers".
Best regards,
The Hackers of Hackers-IL
P.S. Having said that, computer security discussions are certainly welcome in our forum and this wiki.
