There are hackers with good intentions (gurus) and hackers with bad intentions (cyber criminals) Both kinds of hackers have recently changed their objectives. This is due to other trends in information security (e.g. changes in regulations) as well as social and generational changes. The previous generation of lone cyber criminals that often wasted their time defacing websites or creating viruses and worms for fun and recognition, are slowly fading into extinction. Tighter regulation and lower regard for hackers in our time have pushed them towards corporate crime.”]
